December 1, 2019 - January 31, 2020 (see website for holiday date closures) A unique holiday exhibit will transform the tropical butterfly conservatory into a magical oasis featuring 1000's of additional Rice Paper butterflies flying freely throughout the Conservatory. See wingspans of up to 14cm, the Rice Paper Butterfly, a large white relative of the Monarch, is impossible to miss! Watch it float through the air moving gently from flower to flower. The Flight of White experience also includes lush white poinsettia flowers, 1000's of sparking white lights, and classical music playing quietly in the background. "The Rice Paper butterfly is a favourite for our guests because they land on visitors the most" says Adrienne Brewster, executive director and curator at the Conservatory. "As visitors stroll through the exhibit they will encounter fascinating information about the Rice Paper's behaviour and biology. This exhibit is a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of holiday activities". Flight of White is included with a paid admission: opens December 1 2019 and continues through the holiday season until January 31, 2020.Flight of White: Experience a Snowfall of Butterflies!
