Morpho Mardi Gras: Bugs, Rhythm, & Blues 

Jan 25 - Mar 4, 2025 | 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Escape the cold weather with a visit to the Butterfly House's "Morpho Mardi Gras: Bugs, Rhythm, & Blues"!  This family-friendly carnival will have you immersed in “the blues” as the Butterfly House floods the Tropical Conservatory with a sea of 1500 blue morpho butterflies.  Learn how themes in blues music can be similar to behaviors of butterflies! As you stroll through the tranquility of the tropics, see how many of our “Bugs on Parade” you can find or make a masquerade mask, with our youngest visitors.  Help inaugurate the season with these majestic creatures.
