Experience the lifecycle of a butterfly through this interactive exhibit with Mary the Butterfly!

  1. Climb into butterfly egg and learn about what it feels like to be in the first stage of a butterfly’s life cycle!
  2. This three foot high soft sculpture is large enough to illustrate the detailed beauty of a caterpillar’s colors and markings. The hearts and imaginations of children are captured as they climb on and experience a caterpillar from a tactile perspective as well as visual.
  3. Curl into this hammock shaped like chrysalis! Learn about how a caterpillar forms a chrysalis as it prepares to become a butterfly and act out what it would be like if you were a caterpillar in that stage!
  4. Kids are invited to flap the wings of this mechanical butterfly sculpture and discover the physics of simple machines and how they work.
