Sensory-Friendly Butterfly Experience

Enjoy a gentle morning at The Butterfly Experience at Brookside Gardens with limited capacity and natural lighting for visitors with sensory sensitivities. Designed to be less overwhelming by reducing the number of visitors in the experience, sensory-friendly mornings provide an opportunity for children and their families to visit with the butterflies at their own pace. Experience the magic of butterflies soaring all around and maybe even landing on you! Fidgets will be provided and staff will be on hand to facilitate the experience. All participants must have a ticket.

For questions regarding our Sensory-Friendly Butterfly Experience, please reach out to Youth Education at gardens@montgomeryparks.org.
