Coming Summer 2026

Beautiful Butterflies

Step into a beautiful world all around you.

Step Into A World of Wonder

Our beautiful butterflies will not be viewable until summer as we reimagine the Hilbert Conservatory into an immersive Amazonian Rainforest.  The butterflies can be seen when the space re-opens in 2026.

Exhibit is FREE for Zoo members and included with regular admission.
