The Butterfly House is temporarily closed while the storm damage is being assessed and repaired. In the meantime, butterfly lovers are welcome to explore the Insectarium and keep an eye out for these newly added tropical butterflies that will emerge in the coming weeks.

Earlier this week, the Butterfly House was impacted by the severe weather in St. Louis County. Thankfully, no animals or humans were harmed by the severe weather event, but the Butterfly House is taking proactive steps to move some animals to the Saint Louis Zoo (@stlzoo) .
