Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory focuses on education and outreach in the community. Located on over 100 acres, their site includes the ecologically sensitive Kossuth Bog. The facility’s main feature is the 10,000 square foot tropical garden that showcases thousands of free-flying butterflies along with other animals, such as small birds, and tropical plants. They are open Tuesday through Sunday, and often open on holidays. Please check their website for the most up-to-date information.
