The Butterfly Museum

I was looking for something to do with the big man this weekend and it's kind of tough for his age. I didn't want to stay home cooped up in the house all weekend so we decided to take him to the Butterfly Museum...yes, there really is one here. 

This museum has over 200 butterflies flying around you and if you are really lucky they will land on you. I really wanted one to land on the big man, but unfortunately that did not happen. They came in all different sizes and colors. My favorite was the bright blue ones that were huge. I think Max liked them too because he would point at them and say "bah"...whatever that means.



He enjoyed the butterflies and pointing them out to us. We then checked out the giant catfish in the middle of the museum. Max thought these were neat too, but not as neat as the other little children were that were hanging around the fish pond.


We ventured inside where they had large fish tanks with very colorful fish and a pool to touch stingrays. Max really was not very interested in this part so we decided to head out. All-in-all it was something to do, but a little over priced...at least for entertaining a one year old.

If you go again, make sure you put Max in colorful reds, oranges etc.. Butterflies will land on him thinking he is a flower. It works for me every time I go to Blooming Butterflies at Olbrich Gardens.
