Featuring only native butterfly species, this seasonally open 30×55′ butterfly house is located on the 40-acre Ray Wiegand’s Nursery. Visitors can view up to 12 species of native Michigan butterflies in the wood-frame enclosure with a poly covering. The house is located in the display gardens.
Staff at the Butterfly House are available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays to guide you through the house and teach you about the butterfly life cycle, different species, and host and food plants. Open in early June through September each year.
Kids (and adults) can feed the butterflies using a paintbrush soaked in sugar water.
Private tours of the House are available by appointment for groups of 12 or more.
Caterpillar houses are set up in a separate, adjacent location. These are completely enclosed, protecting the caterpillars while allowing visitors to view the butterfly’s life cycle.
Accessibility
The store and plant nursery are paved with concrete and have wide paths. The Butterfly House is a smaller space with dirt paths that might be challenging for wheelchair users. The House also has double doors that would have to be held open for a wheelchair.
