Majestic Monarch butterfly show opens Saturday at Krohn Conservatory in Eden Park


The Krohn Conservatory in Eden Park will open its celebrated 2017 International Butterfly show, Majestic Monarch, on Saturday.

Presented by Macy’s, the show will be open daily from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Admission is: Adults $7 • Youth $4 (5-17 years) • Children 4 and under FREE.

This year’s show will celebrate the beauty of the majestic monarch butterflies and their amazing long journey across North America.

Thousands of free-flying butterflies, of all varieties including the monarch, will fill the showroom and delight visitors with their beautiful colors and designs.

Experience what it’s like to be a butterfly surrounded by towering fir trees, giant flowers, and islands of color provided by the beautiful hydrangeas, marvelous marigolds, and gorgeous celosia.

Become a “Citizen Scientist” when visiting by observing which fruit nectar feeding station or which flower attracts the most butterflies.

There is a lot to learn about Monarchs –– and everyone at Krohn is hoping that each visitor will spread the word about the importance of creating and preserving butterfly habitats.

Many special events, both family-friendly and Adults Only, have been planned throughout the 12-week show –– from Photographer Nights to Family Nights to name a few!

See the website for scheduling details.
