A Butterfly Attraction in Canada

NIAGARA PARKS BUTTERFLY CONSERVATORY

NIAGARA FALLS, ONTARIO, CANADA
One of the largest North American indoor exhibits of its kind, this conservatory is home to 2,000 butterflies from around the world. A network of pathways winds around tropical gardens and waterfalls. If kids wear bright clothing, a butterfly may even land on them, looking for a flower's nectar. In the 200-seat auditorium, the staff gives presentations on subjects like starting your own butterfly garden. Admission is $10 for adults, $6 for kids ages 6 to 12, and free for kids under age 6. Call 877-NIA-PARK.
