Olbrich's Blooming Butterflies
Experience the magnificence of free-flying butterflies while strolling through the tropical Bolz Conservatory. Live butterflies emerge from chrysalises daily in the Conservatory, including low-flyers like the playful yellow and black striped zebras and bright orange julias. More than a dozen species of butterflies, native to both Wisconsin and the more tropical areas of the southern United States can be seen at various times during the exhibit. Tickets: $5 adults, $3 children ages 3-12, free for kids 2 & under and Olbrich Botanical Society members. After spotting bright butterflies inside the Bolz Conservatory, children can follow butterfly stencils on the paths through the outdoor gardens on a quest to fill their Butterfly Passports with stamps. Find the stamping stations, read a few fun facts, then answer a few simple questions. Fill up the passport and earn one free junior cone from Michael's Frozen Custard, valid at the 3826 Atwood Ave. location. See collector Dan Capps' collection of more than 7,000 insects ranging from butterflies to beetles to bees, and includes specimens from every continent.
