Children and families can learn everything about the California Western Monarch Butterfly and its habitat with an up-close look at the magnificent creatures while they flutter inside netted butterfly enclosures in Mile Square Regional Park’s Forest Shelter.

Children can learn about planting plants to attract Monarch Butterflies. Participants can also go inside a netted butterfly enclosure. Butterfly experts are on-site to provide educational information and answer questions about the beautiful and unique specimens.

Additional event activities include  interpretive programs, children’s crafts, face painting and a balloon artist.

Note:  This is a new date, as the event had to be rescheduled from February due to inclement weather.
