- Create a Caterpillar:ย Shape a caterpillar out of clay, then add seeds to sprout a fuzzy fellow to take home.
- Flower Showers:ย Grab a watering can and learn about pollinators rely on while helping the flowers grow.
Caterpillar Adoption
Raise and release native Painted Lady butterflies as a living science project for the whole family. Caterpillar adoptions start at $6. The process takes about two weeks for a tiny caterpillar to morph into a lovely butterfly, ready to be released into nature.
Visit kidspacemuseum.org to reserve tickets for Butterfly Season, included with general admission.
