What does my admission cover? Admission covers a visit to our containment room to view and learn the lifecycle of a butterfly including live pupa. From there, you can visit our non-native butterflies in the conservatory. Butterflies are shipped in weekly and you may see different species at each visit. Then, you can frolic among the 100's of butterflies visiting the gardens. You are welcome to stay as long as you like, most guests stay for about 2 hours.

What if I have a large group that wants to come? Groups are considered 12+ and we like to reserve time slots on Tues and Weds for groups. Please send an email with the number of guests and preferred date so we can check our availability.
Do we have to book a time slot in order to visit the farm? It is recommended that you book a time slot but not required. Walk-ins are always welcome but sometimes we get very busy and having a time slot is more of a guarantee.
Do you sell any butterfly kits? We will have kits this season. Please keep checking our website and social media accounts for updates, or sign up for our mailing list to be notified when they arrive.
Do you sell any flowers/plants? Yes, we do sell them! Most of what we have are host plants for caterpillars and butterflies, but please send an email if you are looking for something specific, or stop by the farm to check them out.
Do you host private events/rent the space? Please send us an email request with what you are looking for and we will get back to you shortly. Send it to: info@dahlonegabutterfly.com
