In an addition to the overall show theme, there are many themed afternoon and evening events including ‘Wedding Wednesday’, ‘Girls Night Out’, ‘Cinderella Sunday’, and ‘Fido Friday’.

Along with the landscapes, there is a Butterfly exhibit to walk through with more than 1,000 rare butterflies.


Butterflies are insects that have large, often brightly colored wings, and a conspicuous, fluttering flight. The group comprises the superfamilies Hedyloidea and Papilionoidea. Butterfly fossils date to the Paleocene, about 56 million years ago.

Due to their bright colors and visits to flowers, butterflies are the most familiar of insects to humans. There are about 17,500 species of butterflies in the world, and around 750 species in the United States.
