Butterflies are about light, warmth, and calm. Your own energy shapes the experience.


Etiquette

  • Move slowly; no sudden gestures.
  • Avoid perfume—strong scents change behavior.
  • Keep hands low and steady; never touch.

Do & Don’t

Do Don’t
Walk slowly and speak softly Chase or touch butterflies
Wear neutral colors Wear strong fragrances
Let staff guide interactions Block pathways for photos

Timing

  • Mid-morning warmth = more flight, more perching.
  • Cloudy days = longer rests, easier viewing.

Photo Tips

  • Use portrait mode for soft backgrounds.
  • Focus on the eyes/antennae; let wings fill the frame.
  • Shoot from slightly above to avoid harsh backlight.

Family tip: Make a color hunt—how many wing colors can you spot in five minutes?


Bottom Line

The Butterfly Garden is a gentle pause in a big day. Keep it quiet; make it memorable.
