Joseph L. Popp Jr. Butterfly Conservatory

Planning to open Memorial Day Weekend 2021.  See you then!

Live tropical butterfly exhibit and botanical garden -- an unforgettable experience! See and walk among all of the live, free-flying butterflies from around the world in our 3,000 square foot, indoor conservatory-herbarium -- home also to hundreds of exotic plants. You will marvel at, and be enchanted by, this spectacular display. We have tropical butterflies here from May until October, but are open year-round. Mothers are free on Mother's Day, fathers are free on Father's Day.
