The butterflies are back! Immerse yourself amid hundreds of tropical butterflies as we celebrate our 6th year of SOAR from May 1 through September 30, 2026! NOW EXTENDED THROUGH OCTOBER 4! SOAR features hundreds of tropical butterflies not normally found in Southern California. Your journey begins as you step into the Host and Nectar Garden and wander through beautiful plant species that are part of a butterfly’s habitat. Next, you’ll stop by our Emergence Chamber, where you may just see a butterfly emerge from its pupa! And finally, you’ll enter the pavilion where you will have an up-close-and-personal experience with the hundreds of butterflies flying throughout the exhibit. When you’re done inside the pavilion, you can explore Thomas Dambo’s Trolls: A Field Study.
