Description
Every fall, millions of Monarch Butterflies embark on one of nature's most remarkable migrations. Experience a piece of the journey firsthand at Arcadia.
Play a migration game that puts you in the monarch's wings, then head outside to search for monarchs and other pollinators in Arcadia's pollinator garden. Along the way, you'll explore their life cycle, create a themed craft, learn why populations have declined, and find out what we can all do to support them.
You'll leave with a deeper appreciation for Monarch Butterflies and real ideas for protecting pollinator habitat right in your own backyard.
