Join Butterfly Pavilion in creating safe places for pollinators when you build your pollinator hotel on Father's Day! First, check out the native pollinators currently residing in Butterfly Pavilion's own pollinator hotels. Then, participants will be supplied with all the tools and instructions to build and decorate their very own pollinator hotel while learning more about native pollinators, who you can expect to use your hotel, and what more you can do to help protect and conserve all pollinators.

Includes:

- 1 Pollinator Hotel Per family (you may request a max of one per kid)

- Exhibit admission for each person attending (waived entrance fee for members)

- Learn from one of Butterfly Pavilion's invertebrate experts

Moms are an important part of life, and they deserve some extra appreciation, and pollinators do too! Mother's Day at Butterfly Pavilion is full of fun activities! Together with your kids you can create beautiful artwork inspired by spring and the new life that comes with it, and plant seeds that will grow into native pollinator hubs this summer. Then, follow our staff on a guided promenade through our gardens full of flowers. The perfect way to spend the morning as a family!
