Butterfly House at the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival
The Butterfly House is a HUGE tent-like structure with a metal chain doorway (that helps keep the flow of people moving but keeps the butterflies from flying away.
Inside, you can learn about the journey a monarch butterfly makes across the continent after coming out of its chrysalis.
The exhibit does a wonderful job teaching about the butterfly lifecycle and about their migration.
It is a great place to be up close with many different types of butterflies in a safe environment for the butterflies.
The key to interacting with these creatures is to remain still. If you do, you may find one landing on or near you!
The Butterfly House at the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival will also give you tips on which plants and flowers attract butterflies and where best to plant those butterfly-attracting plants.
