Flutter into Fall
Join us for our annual celebration of our beloved butterflies as the monarchs begin their migration! It will be a day full of activities for the whole family to honor our fluttering friends and their annual migration to the Oyamel fir forest in Mexico.
Take part in a craft presented by the National Museum of Mexican Art, join our entomologist for Monarch Butterfly tagging, explore our outdoor butterfly garden and other nature trails, see a special performance by Xochitl-Quetzal Aztec Dance company, and witness our daily release of newly emerged tropical butterflies into the Judy Istock Butterfly Haven inside the museum on the second floor!
Museum members can even start the fun an hour early! Members can flutter in starting at 9am.
