Saturday, April 1st 2023, you will be greeted with a stunning array of butterflies in the Costa Rica Glasshouse.
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!

A great place to stop for a sip | Most adult butterflies drink nectar from flowers through their tongues, which function much like straws.
