IN THIS ARTICLE:
I did my best to create a functional layout in this article including links to each section of the related content on the Butterfly Wonderland website.
I will discuss information for your visit as well as facts about the museum, the evolution as it relates to monarchs and humans. Let’s gather together and take a sensational tour of my observations with me as your detailed tour guide! Reach far and wide, spread your monarch wings, and explore all the amazing things that will entice your visit. Enjoy!
❗❗🚶♀️🧍🧖♂️🧖♀️🥵❗❗
Dress appropriately in layers. One exhibit is hot and feels like steam. This is due to the temperature the butterflies are regulated to and cannot change for our comfort. The enclosed and insulated habitat is the third room on the tour, the tour staff will offer guests an option not to attend and opt for a beverage in the Cafe instead. The temp. is roughly 75 or 85 degrees F, but the intense humidity can cause dizzy spells and other conditions. Just be mindful of your family members health conditions and maybe just quickly view this exhibit online instead. Make staff aware of any health conditions, they are extremely helpful and concerned with the public’s well being.
Staff assured my visit would be enjoyable despite the my friend’s reaction to the temperature. Amy helped her to a chair, brought her water and a cool towel. The visit remained a good one after that.

Let’s go on a field trip. So get dressed, get ready here we go… Take on your day and celebrate your joys and breathe out your stresses, renew yourself with firm intentions to self-explore your world and your consciousness.
#Butterflies are human’s consciousness, abound by love and security. Beauty and rising developments of our ecosystem, protected species. A phenomenon of life, #harvesting, #artistry, #bravery, #soulfulness, #culturalmeaning, spiritual meaning, connection between the natural and metaphysical worlds, poignant and purposeful, a love, emerging force of strength, vitality and change. A force of nature to create so many subsets of meaning truly remarkable!
It’s the chemistry between species coming together to make friends and become life long partners. The everyday to do list’s and celebrating our lives. The functions of survival and the routines humans have aren’t too different from the lives of species.
The cycle of the butterfly remarkably explains how forming life and struggling to survive is not a concept that humans created. No, human behavior mirrors animals and species.
Just as butterflies fight for their place in the monarch society to flourish through the midst of their days, unknown to the feat, unknown to the outcome, still perilous in their fight to survive. Butterflies do not live long but their divinity, self-propel, wonder and merriment which soars capturing every single moment with pride.
Life’s purpose overall is to procreate and thrive to increase the population of species like other insects, animals and humans before the potential loss and distinction. Butterflies are at risk but this is beyond my knowledge, as I did read up on this from National Geographic. Otherwise, the information in this article collected knowledge from the museum and from reading addiction. I’ve met spiritual people that wake up and have a greater consciousness in their lives and I’m grateful for their guidance to help others navigate their life path.
The strength of butterflies embodies the sacred symbolism that butterflies are revered and harnesses energy of hope, wisdom and a full life. I believe in empowerment, inner beauty, a society that enriches and flourishes with the power to assert themselves for the greater good of others to put forth in a career with measured skills and aptitudes.
Society has adapted animals, species and insects to possess a greater meaning for our human lives whether scientifically discovered through research or by observation of characteristics and behavior. Cultures adapt meaning through symbolism representing greater consciousness and understanding of ourselves. In these Chinese, Indian and African cultures, elephants are a symbol of beauty, power, dignity, intelligence and peace which helps people enrich themselves through purpose and opportunity.
Much like Mexican, American and Canadian cultures, butterflies are a constant reminder that with nature there is beauty. Guiding and gliding through the air, the delicate body of a butterfly has many challenges including keeping prey away. These species are fascinating, telling a story from the wing color, design and shape — none are alike yet always unique.
Wings are never a single color and the fascinating rely on their short span of life of eating and breeding to keep evolution alive. Prospects of metaphysical philosophies are vast depending on which culture you believe. For me, I believe that butterflies are profound to my life as transformation and healing as my lifepath constructs its journey from my ambitions and needs. When I was sick, I took force and helped the doctors with my fight to break free. A year later, my body was healed and my physical and spiritual body acted as a rebirth.
All in all I believed in a power stronger than myself to conquer my fears and obtain an action plan. I had to find symbolism in things that before had no meaning. I explored myself and why the illness was the cause of pain and subsequently my victory — surviving from Hodgkin’s-Lymphoma. Butterflies have truly defined its presence in my life and continue to make my like wholesome.

RAINFOREST HABITAT
The Rainforest Exhibit lives 3,000 fluttering butterflies and a few farm animals.
Rainforest temperatures are hot and steamy, and reminds me of a sauna.
Regulation of climate is vital to the health and well-being of the monarchs and animals living here. The temperature is 80 degrees and humidity is roughly 80%, a mirror of what a rainforest may feel like.
Advice: Take a cold wet paper towel and drape it over your head to cool off as you walk through.
Inside the Museum, the Conservatory hosts thousands of tropical rainforest butterflies. Most spectacular, the Chrysalis Emergence Gallery (births and life), Rainforest Reptiles, Spineless giants (insects from the rainforest), Tropical Waters (rainforest aquatic life).
Tired or uneasy walking long distances? There are plenty of opportunities to sit. Reasonable accommodations for all people. If you need assistance, contact the friendly staff. I am impressed by the level of care and attention I received on my visit. My cousin was not feeling well. The eighty degree temperatures in the Rainforest left her feeling light headed and sweaty. We were told by the attendant;
‘An unexpected reaction to the exhibit but each person has their temperature tolerance.’ She sat her down in the Cafe, offered her a cold bottle of water and wet towels which my cousin and I most appreciated. I watched my cousin go from a bright red complexion back to her normal peachy skin color within thirty minutes. Next time, we will not return to the Rainforest together. The humidity was intense which was the core of the reaction, not especially the temperature itself. As we discovered earlier in this article, butterflies have a strict temperament for their bodies and what they can endure which is the reason why visitors must adapt or watch the Rainforest on the website instead.
