Experience a magical evening where music and nature meet inside Butterfly Pavilion’s Wings of the Tropics butterfly conservatory. This intimate program brings together live chamber music by Concertvation; a nonprofit that explores how artists and scientists partner to translate ecological data into sound. Rooted in the earth itself - from soil and root systems to forests and trees - this upcoming program will reflect on the natural world as both a fragile and a living, interconnected system.

Slow down, move together, and experience the magic of family yoga surrounded by hundreds of free-flying butterflies in our tropical rainforest. This playful, all-levels class invites children and their grown-ups to explore movement through partner poses, breathing games, mindful moments, storytelling, and nature-inspired yoga.

Together, we'll stretch like caterpillars, balance like butterflies, sway with the trees, and pause to notice the incredible life all around us. Rather than focusing on perfect poses, this class celebrates connection, curiosity, and joyful movement. Families will leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and with a deeper appreciation for one another and the natural world.

Perfect for families with children ages 4 10 (siblings welcome), no yoga experience is needed just bring your sense of wonder.

Come create memories, share laughter, and discover how slowing down together helps us notice the beauty that's always been around us. The warm rainforest, filled with tropical plants and butterflies, offers a truly one-of-a-kind setting for mindful family connection.

Along the way, we'll highlight the restoration work taking place at Fox Run and discuss the habitat features that support native pollinators and other wildlife. We'll also record the different plants and animals we find with the iNaturalist app. Every observation helps us better understand how wildlife is responding to restoration efforts and provides valuable data to guide future management.

No experience is necessary, all ages and skill levels are welcome! If you have a smartphone, we encourage you to download the iNaturalist app before the event, but you're welcome to participate even if you don't have one.
