Celebrations

New!  You and your guests can commune with nature, November through April, in a unique, warm, INDOOR venue.  The Butterfly House main Exhibit Hall is now available for holiday events, special anniversary gatherings, birthday parties for adults or corporate dinners.

Guests are seated amid a colorful, eye-catching mural depicting desert, grassland and rainforest habitats including the terrestrial invertebrates that populate these areas.  Or be seated next to a giant saguaro cactus or under a massive tree.

This intimate setting can accommodate up to 60 guests.  The rental fee includes:  use of the Exhibit Hall from 6:00 PM to 10 PM; use of a sound sytem for background music and microphone; use of the Emerson Theater and large screen for your special video/slide presentations; tour of the Butterfly Conservatory (only during daylight savings and prior to dark); and event supervision.

The Butterfly House offers a choice of four caterers: Hendri's Catering, Patty Long Catering, Russo's Gourmet Catering and Villa Farotto Catering.   Our caterers provide linens, dinnerware, all food , beverages and the bar.  Catering is a separate contract.

Live musical combos are welcome with approval by the Butterfly House Special Events Manager at least one month prior to the event.  Please, no bands or DJs.

Need an unique gift for your special honoree?  Give a memory to last a lifetime.  Purchase a beautiful, butterfly-shaped paving stone in our entry plaza.  These pavers are a perfect way to commemorate life's celebrations.  For information, click here.
