Bug Hunt Party Package

Bug Hunt Party Package

Make your kid’s birthday an adventure! Embark on a guided tour of the gardens and waterways surrounding Butterfly Pavilion, led by your party host, and equipped with a field guide. See how many fascinating invertebrate species you can discover along the way! You might even be able to catch one!

Only available for parties May-September! 

This birthday party adventure invites the young explorer to unearth the marvels of bugs we can find right in our backyards, highlighting local biodiversity! The journey outside, an exploration expected to span 15-20 minutes (with the option to extend it at no extra charge), promises a close-up look at the tiny inhabitants that share our world. 

This party is great for kids aged 3-10!
