One of my favorite things to do in the spring and summer is to visit the Butterfly Papilion at Honor Heights Park in Muskogee. It’s the largest butterfly house in the state, and you can visit starting the Saturday before Mother’s Day weekend. There are over 26 varieties of butterflies that are native to Oklahoma, and as you stroll through the open-air attraction, they’ll fly all around you.

Take a look:

The gardens open in early Spring and the Papilion opens the Saturday before Mother's Day until September 30. If you visit during April, you can view over 30,000 azaleas at the annual Azalea Festival at the park.

The garden house is a Georgia-Pacific butterfly house that is surrounded by gorgeous flowers during the spring and summer months. As you walk around, butterflies fly right by you and some will even land on you.
