 Huntsville Botanical Garden
The Huntsville Botanical Garden is a beautiful 120-acre site with stunning floral collections, inviting woodland paths, broad grassy meadows and aquatic areas as well as the nation’s largest open-air butterfly house! The botanical garden plays an important part in stimulating the study and understanding of the sciences as students learn about the role plants – and butterflies –play in their lives.
Butterflies and Bugs:
From caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly, your students will thrill at investigating the life cycle of the butterfly in the nation’s largest open-air seasonal butterfly house! The students will be immersed in a total body experience as they come face to face with thousands of native butterflies, tadpoles, frogs, turtles, button quail and other critters living in the waterfall, ponds, streams and lush vegetation of the Nature Center. Located outside the Nature Center is the two-acre Children’s Garden which is actually 8 gardens in one! Enter the ancient world of dinosaurs where you can walk through a rib cage and dig for fossils; see a real Space Station node donated by Marshall Space Flight Center containing an aquaponic display; explore the world of rainbows through bubbles and prisms and much more!
