"Migrations" Live Butterfly Exhibit
<p>"Migrations" Live Butterfly Exhibit<br />April 27 - July 7<br /><br />The majestic Monarch butterfly is famous for its astonishing 3000 mile migration from Canada to Mexico. Discover the paths and perils of the Monarch as you "follow" their route in this exhibit. You can also learn whether other butterflies travel the distances and how a species survives without migrating, since many local species escape the cold without leaving home. In the midst of the exhibit you can enjoy a personal encounter with hundreds of non-migratory tropical butterflies as they fly, feed and offer an array of color. You might explore your own family's migration stories, through the cooperation of The Genealogical Center of the Allen County Public Library.<br /><br />Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory<br />1100 South Calhoun Street<br />Fort Wayne, IN 46802<br />(260) 427-6440<br /><br />Hours:<br /><br />Tuesday - Saturday 10am - 5pm<br />Thursday 10am - 8pm<br />Sunday Noon - 4pm<br /><br />Admission<br /><br />Adults $5<br />Children (ages 3-17) $3<br />Age 2 and under Free</p>
