Turtle Bay Exploration Park will be opening Wings of Summer: Butterflies! again this summer beginning May 2nd. At Butterflies, visitors observe hundreds of butterflies in a tranquil, enclosed garden. The butterfly house usually consists of up to 32 species of butterflies found throughout the United States. The butterflies arrive as chrysalis and will eclose (emerge) in the butterfly house. Guests can witness this magical experience as butterflies come out, dry their wings and set flight. Or, guests can release their own emerging butterfly for $1 per person (when chrysalises are available).
Butterflies is made possible by the support of Bob and Jean Blankenship, John and Molly Mancasola, Lee and Judy Salter, Bill and Juanita Cox, Doreeta Domke, Dick and Mary Stimpel, Dennis and Sherrill Bambauer, and Don and Judy Beaty.
Turtle Bay begins operating on summer hours on May 1st through September 7th—open seven days a week, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday – Saturday and 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Sundays. The butterfly house is open 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday – Saturday and 10:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Sundays.
