Butterflies in Flight

The popular Joe W. and Dorothy Dorsett Brown Foundation Butterflies in Flight exhibit has reopened with an amazing array of butterflies, new plantings and enhanced exhibitry.

This serene, Asian-inspired garden flutters with life as butterflies swoop and soar from one flower to another—perhaps even resting for a moment on the shoulder of a visitor. Close encounters with these beautiful creatures provide vivid memories that last a lifetime.

Audubon members now go FREE to the Butterfly Garden and Insectarium!
