Behind The Wings

Have you ever wondered how butterflies get to the SOAR Pavilion? Join one of our knowledgeable SOAR Guides to go Behind the Wings! As honorary “Staff for the Day,” we’ll show you each step in the process, from how shipments arrive at the Garden to how they are transported to our pavilion and every step in between. Included in this experience is exclusive access to our Staff Only processing center, known as the Emergence Chamber, plus the opportunity to name a chrysalis and add your picture to the “Behind the Wings” photo board! This tour is recommended for guests aged 6 and up.

Please note that access to the Emergence Chamber requires stepping up one large step. If you have accessibility concerns or need accommodations, please contact us prior to your visit.
