The Butterfly Biosphere at Thanksgiving Point’s Water Tower Plaza is an experience unlike anything in the state of Utah! This 40,000 square foot venue is home to over a thousand butterflies from around the globe. In addition to dozens of species of butterflies, it also has 20 species of tarantulas, beetles as big as your fist, and many more creepy crawly friends. Complete the experience by helping release a butterfly into the conservatory!
The Butterfly Biosphere is part of the Thanksgiving Point membership plan. This means that members have unlimited access to this and the other four Thanksgiving Point venues all year long. To learn more about the benefits of Thanksgiving Point membership visit our Membership page.
The Conservatory is the heart of the Butterfly Biosphere! This nearly 10,000 square foot glasshouse features dozens of tropical and flowering plant species to keep over 1,000 butterflies happy. The Conservatory is a USDA containment facility, meaning that we are able to display incredible insects from all over the world, including famous species like the spectacular Blue Morpho.
The Costa Rica Climber is a 7,500 square foot nature-themed area dedicated to active play and exploration! Treehouses contain everything your kids will need to become scientists researching rainforest insects and habitats! With a separate play space for the littlest guests on the forest floor, there's something for everyone in the Costa Rica Climber.
The Discovery Zone is a world class insectarium where you'll discover all our other invertebrate friends! Guests will be shrunk down to bug-size to get a closer look at what it's like to be an insect, learn about metamorphosis, and see dozens of amazing spineless animals from around the world.
ITSY BITSY SCIENCE
Join us for our new Itsy-Bitsy Science sensory bins, happening every Tuesday at 3 pm. Itsy-Bitsy Science is designed specifically for families with children ages 5 and under. This hands-on experience lets children explore insects and the natural world through their senses, making early science concepts playful and fun!
