Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History hosts butterfly exhibit now until September 4
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History opened its annual summer exhibit 'Butterflies Alive!' which will remain open until Sep. 4, 2023.
The exhibit features almost 1,000 individual butterflies from more than two dozen tropical butterfly species from Costa Rica.
Director of Guest Experience Kim Zsembik said, “I’m excited to offer only butterflies from Costa Rica this year, featuring more species than ever before. Each visit you’ll see something new and watching the Blue Morpho take flight never fails to impress! I hope this exhibit brings everyone together and inspires curiosity about all pollinators in our world.”

Access to the Sprague Butterfly Pavilion is included in admission and is available Wednesday to Monday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the last entries into the pavilion at 4 p.m.
