Visitor Info & Guidelines

Butterfly House

Our Stroller Policy
Limited space and USDA containment requirements restrict our ability to have strollers or wagons in the Butterfly House, including the Tropical Conservatory. We strongly encourage the use of baby slings or carriers as alternatives to strollers when visiting the Butterfly House.

If you require an accommodation, please consider using a smaller, lightweight “umbrella” stroller. The immersive nature of our exhibit areas do not easily accommodate oversize, side-by-side, double-seated, or jogging strollers.

Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House

The Butterfly House is home to over 60 tropical butterfly species in our Conservatory, which also houses over 150 tropical plants.  This lovely garden combined with the beauty of the butterflies is the heart of the Butterfly House. 

Sophia M. Sachs was the widow of Sam Sachs, who founded Sachs Electric Co. and was influential in the development of Chesterfield, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis.  Mrs. Sachs retained her wonder of discovery until her death in May 1999.  She shared that beauty with children of all ages through life.  This facility is named in honor of her generous spirit.
