The 2024 Butterfly Show is inspired by the story of the caterpillars and butterflies taken to the International Space Station in 2009, where they successfully adapted to a zero-gravity environment and became known as "astro-pillars" and "butter-nauts". Visit Krohn Conservatory's Butterflies in Space! and learn about the innovative ways butterflies and plants lived high above the planet. We have created a galactic landscape of blossoming plants and beautiful butterflies for you to enjoy. Explore our own take on the space station while the real "stars" of the show flutter and swirl throughout the room like a colorful cloud of stardust. Be sure to visit Krohn Conservatory for a Butterfly Show that is really "out of this world”.

We ask that all guests, including members and pass holders, reserve a ticket before their visit. This will allow for shorter wait times and less crowding.

Tickets are in 1-hour increments giving guests a full hour in the show room with the butterflies. The Bonsai Gallery, Orchid House, Desert House and gift shop will be available to visit after the butterfly experience. The Fern House and Palm House can be seen before or after the visit to the Butterfly Show Room.
