NORFOLK, Va. — Discover summer fun at Norfolk Botanical Garden! Our Summer Butterfly House is now open and offers an up-close look at native butterflies in a vibrant, enclosed habitat filled with nectar-rich plants. Originally a temporary exhibit in 2009, its popularity led to it becoming a permanent annual experience, now welcoming over 45,000 visitors each summer.
Summer Butterfly House is located in the Bristow Butterfly Garden. The 2.5-acre garden provides a habitat to attract and support butterflies and moths during all stages of their life cycle. Within the garden you will find a swallowtail and monarch nursery, nectar garden, moonlight garden and butterfly bush collection.
