Witness the magnificent transformation of nature and marvel at the sight of brilliantly colored living jewels fluttering in the Rainforest Conservatory of Fort Worth Botanic Garden during Butterflies in the Garden, presented by Central Market. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the largest exhibit of live, exotic butterflies in North Central Texas.

Exhibit visitors will have the chance to see a diverse collection of butterflies from various parts of the world, including Central, North and South America, Africa, and Asia. The Blue Morpho (Morpho peleides), known for its striking beauty, is one of the most popular butterflies on display. Additionally, local favorites will also be showcased.

Exhibit Etiquette:
To help keep the butterflies and the plants happy and healthy by following these simple rules:
• Be gentle with the butterflies and the plants. They are very delicate and touching them can hurt them. It is important to note that removing butterflies and plants from the Rainforest Conservatory is strictly prohibited under USDA regulations.
• Use your phone or camera to capture the beauty of the butterflies. Please leave your tripods, monopods, or selfie sticks at home or in your car.
• Follow the path and the signs. They will guide you through the Conservatory and show you where to go and what to see.
• Respect the Conservatory and everything in it. Please don’t climb on or take anything from the Conservatory.
• Leave your food, drinks, coats, and strollers outside. We have a self-check-in area where you can store them safely. This will make your visit more comfortable and prevent any accidents or spills.
• Bring your certified service animal only. We love all animals, but only service animals are allowed inside the Conservatory. We request that you leave all other animals at home.
• No refunds. We hope you enjoy your visit, but if you need to change your date, please email us and we’ll try to accommodate you.
