The Butterfly House reopens its doors to the public with a special Mardi Gras-themed celebration the whole family can enjoy.
Bugs, Rhythm, and Blues is happening January 31-February 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The event is a unique, family-friendly celebration of St. Louis’ love for Mardi Gras, blues music, and the vibrant blue morpho butterflies.
Throughout the day guests can warm up inside the Tropical Conservatory, where over a thousand blue morpho butterflies have recently joined the hundreds of other butterflies in flight, while enjoying live blues music.
Guests can enjoy mask-making, animal encounters, live music, and a special story time & pictures with the Frog Princess.
This celebration is included with general admission to the Butterfly House.
