Insider tips

Wear bright colors like red, yellow, or white, as these are more likely to attract butterflies to land on you.

Move slowly and keep your hands low to increase the chances of butterflies landing on your shoulders or arms.

Use a macro lens if you are planning to take close-up photography of the insects.

What to avoid

Avoid wearing strong perfumes or insect repellent, as these scents can be harmful or distressing to the butterflies.

Good to know

Open seasonally during the spring and summer months; closed during the winter season.

Etiquette

Do not touch the wings of the butterflies as oils from human skin damage their ability to fly. Stay on marked paths to avoid stepping on insects resting on the ground.
