This picture was takin in the Pacific Science
Center's Tropical Butterfly House.

Pacific Science Center's Tropical Butterfly House
opened Dec. 26, 1998. Their goal in creating this
4,000 square foot exhibit was to build an
immersive exhibit that would provide a glimpse
into a part of the world very unlike Seattle — a
warm, sunny place where colorful butterflies are
active 365 days a year. Seattle skies do not
provide the light necessary for tropical species
to thrive. Supplemental heat, light, and humidity
are provided to sustain a tropical ecosystem among
the cool, grey, drizzly days of the Pacific
Northwest.

They import about 500 tropical butterflies weekly,
from South and Central America, Africa, and Asia.
Butterflies are responsibly raised in sustainable
rainforest farms. They are proud to participate in
the positive economic, cultural, and environmental
impacts butterfly farming makes throughout the
world.

We used the Seattle City Pass and saved lots of

money. More information on the link below:
