Flutter into Fall 2024 at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum

Join in on this annual celebration of the beloved butterflies as the monarchs begin their migration! It will be a day full of activities for the whole family to honor the fluttering friends and their annual migration to the Oyamel fir forest in Mexico.   Take part in a craft presented by the National Museum of Mexican Art, join an entomologist for Monarch Butterfly tagging, explore the outdoor butterfly garden and other nature trails, and witness each daily release of newly emerged tropical butterflies into the Judy Istock Butterfly Haven inside the museum on the second floor!   Museum members can even start the fun an hour early! Members can flutter in starting at 9am.
