The Blooming Butterflies exhibit at the Como Zoo in St. Paul, Minnesota encompasses 3,000 square feet in a caterpillar-like tent with some of the following butterflies:

giant swallowtail

Butterflies subject to availability.

The Como Zoo has outdoor gardens designated as monarch butterfly way stations. One monarch snuck into the butterfly tent during my visit to socialize with the other butterflies... a social butterfly.

The appearance of the huge caterpillar-like tent has impressed several passing butterflies, while others sped off to the Como Park Optometrist.
