This butterfly is amazing because it occupies a very narrow band of habitat in the Sacramento Mountains. Its historical range is unknown, but its present range is a mere 32 square miles.

Hello everyone!
We just wanted to give you a heads up that we will have a limited butterfly population for these first few weeks. Sadly, the weather really played havoc with our stock, and wild butterflies this year. The populations will need time and warm sunshine to fully recover.
We are still open and have some for you to see, but the selection is not as varied or numerous as it usually is by now.
We really appreciate your patience and your continued support!
Thank you!
We are open now!
However, we just wanted to give you a heads up that we have limited butterflies. This cold and wet spring has not been good for mating and raising butterflies. Our varieties and numbers are low right now, but will continue to grow as the season progresses.
We appreciate your patience, and we hope you stop by regardless!
Thank you!
We're delaying this year's opening thanks to the weather and its impact on our butterfly populations.
Anticipated Opening Date: June 2nd
Admission is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors, and $4 for children.
Seasonal passes are available as well: $15 for adults, $12.50 for seniors, and $10 for children.
We hope to see you soon!
