For an up close and personal visit with live butterflies, nothing beats a trip to a butterfly conservatory. I recently visited the butterfly conservatory at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
The American Museum of Natural History is located at Central Park West and 79th Street in New York City. The Butterfly Conservatory opens in October and closes in May each year. For more information, contact AMNH at (212) 769-5100 or visit their website at www.amnh.org.
