Butterfly Encounter at the Chattahoochee Nature Center

The annual exhibit of butterflies at the Chattahoochee Nature Center in Roswell features hundreds of native butterflies and the colorful nectar plants that they feed on. Get a paintbrush soaked in nectar for a chance to feed a butterfly and get a close photo with one.

The enclosure is outdoor air and may close during bad weather. Information on each butterfly can be found on a printed card available in the enclosure. Visitors can purchase butterfly host and food plants directly from the Center after their visit.

The Center also holds a Flying Colors Butterfly Festival each year in June with butterfly releases, pollinator games, food, the butterfly encounter, live entertainment, and a plant sale.

ACCESSIBILITY: The enclosure is set up over bare ground and the rows are narrow. The enclosure is NOT wheelchair accessible.
