News from Ontario’s Niagara Parks Commission
Niagara Falls, Ontario – On Saturday, September 6, the Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory will host a one-day educational exhibit for visitors to learn more about the lifecycle of the Monarch Butterfly and its incredible migratory journey.
Exhibit topics and displays will cover the fascinating life history, migration and habitat of the Monarch Butterfly. As part of this program, participants will be able to view all stages of a butterfly’s life, as they transform from caterpillars into chrysalis and later Monarchs, which will fly freely within the Conservatory. The program also includes hourly Monarch tagging demonstrations (starting at 11 a.m.), followed by their release into the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens to begin their great migration south to Mexico.
The educational exhibit is available from at 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the Conservatory remaining open until 6 p.m. (last tickets sold at 5:30 p.m.)
The fully accessible Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory is located on the grounds of the world-renowned Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens and School of Horticulture, a short drive north of the Falls at 2565 Niagara Parkway. The exhibit is included with admission: $13.50 for adults (ages 13+), $8.80 for children (6 to 12 years), and children five and under are admitted FREE (prices in Canadian plus tax).
