Enter the Costa Rica biome and be transported into the world of the butterflies!

To celebrate the arrival of spring in a big way, Holden Forests & Gardens presents Return of the Butterflies at the Cleveland Botanical Garden – a visual treat with hundreds of newly emerged butterflies in the Costa Rica biome. The butterflies in the Costa Rica biome will bring the Glasshouse to life—amazing, colorful, moving, exhilarating life. You’ll see them actively searching for nectar as food sources and exploring their surroundings. Take part in our butterfly releases each afternoon at 2pm in the Costa Rice biome!

Our last butterfly release of the 2024 season will take place on Wednesday, November 6th.
