They’re pretty, fragile, and have a surprising propensity for commuting long distances. In southern Arizona, butterflies are a constant presence, fluttering from flower to flower even in the middle of the desert’s winter season. And, you have to admit, nothing feels quite as magical as a group of butterflies flying past you on a sunny day.
If you want to experience that magical feeling a little more often, then we have just the place for you to visit!
Butterfly Wonderland is located at 9500 East Via de Ventura in Scottsdale. You can find details about their hours, admission, and special events by visiting their website or Facebook page.
