Construction on our new entomology lab has started! Please be aware there may be loud noises in the conservatory. Those with auditory sensitivities may want to come on the weekends when construction is not taking place.
To continue efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Butterfly House has implemented additional health and safety protocols. The safety of the visitors, volunteers and staff is our top priority.
In accordance with St. Louis County Department of Public Health, masks/face coverings are required indoors for all guests age five and older, including those whho are vaccinated (beginning Monday, July 26, 2021). It is recommended that guests ages 5 and older wear masks/face coverings outdoors, when not able to properly social distance. Masks should cover one's mouth and nose.
When necessary, please only bring bags or coats that can be carried with you during your visit.
To ensure the safety for all, tour reservations and admissions must be purchased in advanced. Same-day e-tickets and walk-up purchases may be limited, depending on availability. Purchase e-tickets here.
