Catepillar Adoption & Earth Day Festival

Get ready to witness the miracle of nature right in your own living room! We are thrilled to invite you to our most beloved tradition of the year: the Annual Caterpillar Adoption & Earth Day Festival. This isn’t just an event—it’s a front-row seat to one of the most magical transformations on the planet.

When you join us for this sun-filled celebration, you can officially adopt your very own Painted Lady caterpillar to take home. You’ll receive everything you need to become a “butterfly parent,” watching with wonder as your tiny, crawling friend grows, tucks itself into a cozy chrysalis, and finally emerges as a vibrant butterfly!

But the fun doesn’t stop at the adoption desk. Our Earth Day Festival will be buzzing with excitement, featuring hands-on STEM activities, eco-friendly crafts, and interactive exhibits that celebrate our beautiful planet. Whether you’re exploring our pollinator gardens or learning how to protect local wildlife, it’s a day of discovery, giggles, and green-thumb inspiration for the whole family. Don’t miss your chance to bring a little piece of the museum’s magic home with you!
