Monarchs reign in October at the Panhandle Butterfly House.
More than 3,000 butterfly fans flock to this annual event which highlights the familiar black-and-orange butterfly and its annual migration through Northwest Florida.
The Panhandle Butterfly House is a large educational exhibit. In addition to educational information, visitors can speak with docents or take a self-guided tour through the vivarium. We will also be tagging monarch butterflies. The tagging is part of a research project from the University of Kansas. We will offer a Junior Lepidopterist program that teaches youth about the butterfly life cycle
School tours are also available! And you can build your own butterfly-friendly garden at the butterfly house plant sale.
