SOAR Tropical Butterflies at South Coast Botanic Garden Open Now through August 31
May 5, 2023 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm PDT
South Coast Botanic Garden’s most popular exhibit, SOAR – Tropical Butterflies, is returning this May for its third consecutive year.
This year, not only will guests be surrounded by hundreds of tropical butterflies inside the pavilion, but they have the opportunity to purchase a ticket that includes our new Butterfly Feeding Experience. Those who purchase the Butterfly Feeding Experience for an additional $6 can choose from a flower vial or ring filled with nectar to use while inside the pavilion to help entice butterflies to come closer to them for the optimum and most immersive experience. Species inside the pavilion include the fan-favorite blue morpho, owl butterflies, malachite, rusty tipped page, gold rim swallowtail, ruby spotted swallowtail, giant swallowtail, orange tiger and more. This year’s exhibit also includes a new beautiful photo opportunity and a chance for guests to help support the exhibit and our new Pollination Garden through our Wall of Wings.
$6 for Members and up to $23 for non-members, which includes price of general admission. The Butterfly Feeding Experience is an additional $6 for all. Tickets available at southcoastbotanicgarden.org/soar
Open daily May 1 through August 31
