Live Butterfly Conservatory

Join Pearlridge Center for its Live Butterfly Conservatory, featuring hundreds of locally raised living butterflies flitting about amidst their favorite island flora! Conservatory docents will share information on the life cycle of these most beautiful of insects, then enjoy these lovely creatures–as a butterfly, chrysalis or even an egg–first-hand through a self-guided tour. All guests will have the rare opportunity to feed a butterfly. And if you’re lucky and stand very, very still, one may land gently on your head or shoulder! Admission is $4.50 per person; children under two years of age are free with a paying adult. Free craft activities mean that everyone leaves with a memento of the experience.

From Saturday, March 3 through Sunday, April 8 (closed on Easter Sunday, April 1). Mondays through Saturdays from 10 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sundays from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Uptown Center Court
