Butterfly Bio-Villa

A visit to the Butterfly Bio-Villa is educational and entertaining for the entire family. Children, parents, and teachers, enjoy the awe inspiring experience of walking among living butterflies in a natural garden.

At the Butterfly Bio-Villa, you can get "eye-to-eye with a butterfly" and observe these marvelous animals close-up as they fly around the exhibit, feeding on nectar from garden flowers or fruit juices. You may catch a glimpse of the butterflies as they emerge from their chrysalis, completing the final transformation, or their metamorphosis from egg, to larvae, to pupa and finally to the adult butterfly.

The Pendleton farm is a certified Monarch way station and works closely with the Monarch Watch organization. Learn about the migration habits of monarch butterflies, and help researchers, by tagging butterflies during the migration season
