With September on the horizon, get ready to spread your wings at the Tucson Botanical Garden where – come October – the Cox Butterfly and Orchid Pavilion will celebrate two decades of being aflutter with winged activity.
Butterfly Magic, southern Arizona’s first and only tropical butterfly exhibit, has set the standard for how these wondrous winged creatures should be displayed. Stroll through this tropical oasis, dotted by 30-50 different species of butterflies on any given day (up to 100 over the season), amidst a dazzling show of orchids from around the world.
Keen on reality TV? Watch chrysalises hatch all season long.
