Butterflies are about light, warmth, and calm. Your own energy shapes the experience.
Etiquette
- Move slowly; no sudden gestures.
- Avoid perfume—strong scents change behavior.
- Keep hands low and steady; never touch.
Do & Don’t
| Do | Don’t |
|---|---|
| Walk slowly and speak softly | Chase or touch butterflies |
| Wear neutral colors | Wear strong fragrances |
| Let staff guide interactions | Block pathways for photos |
Timing
- Mid-morning warmth = more flight, more perching.
- Cloudy days = longer rests, easier viewing.
Photo Tips
- Use portrait mode for soft backgrounds.
- Focus on the eyes/antennae; let wings fill the frame.
- Shoot from slightly above to avoid harsh backlight.
Family tip: Make a color hunt—how many wing colors can you spot in five minutes?
Bottom Line
The Butterfly Garden is a gentle pause in a big day. Keep it quiet; make it memorable.
