Tuesday, Jan. 27: Franklin Park Zoo and Stone Zoo will open at 11:00 a.m. to allow our teams time to clear pathways and ensure a safe visit. Please travel safely, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
This habitat is closed for the season. Be sure to flutter by in the spring!
Step into Butterfly Oasis and be surrounded by the wonders of nature and fluttering butterflies! Wander along a winding path displaying a water feature and sculptural palm trees all within the 20-foot-high geodesic dome. Be enchanted by a variety of butterfly species, including monarchs, white peacocks, and red admirals. The oasis also includes an eclosion box, where you can observe the butterfly lifecycle and watch as they emerge from their chrysalises.
Thank you to Mahoney's Garden Center for their generous donation of plants that brighten Butterly Oasis and landscapes throughout the Zoo!
