Butterfly Hollow, the popular, immersive seasonal habitat, opened for the season on May 27 at Franklin Park Zoo. A seasonal oasis of tranquility, Butterfly Hollow is an indoor space filled with bright butterflies, soothing music, beautiful native flowers, and a small pond. This seasonal habitat highlights the important role of pollinators in healthy ecosystems and ways we help them thrive.

While strolling through the space, be sure to look for the whimsical fairy houses nestled within the landscape. In addition to butterflies, Butterfly Hollow is also home to Baikal teal, a small, dabbling duck, and Eve, the common cooter. At 50 years old, Eve is one of the oldest residents at Franklin Park Zoo.
