Another one of our family's favorite spot in the city is the Calgary Zoo's newest addition: the ENMAX conservatory's indoor butterfly's botanical green house. Hundreds of colorful and beautiful butterflies fly around the glass dome surrounded by flowers and plants. Visitors are welcome to see and take pictures. Touching the tiny wonders are not recommended, as their are fragile little creatures. It is all part of the butterfly conservation initiative. If you are lucky enough to see a zoo keeper there, take the initiative to ask lots of questions. They are quite knowledgeable about butterfly biology, butterflies in your area, butterfly gardening and much more. Butterflies capture our eyes, heart and imagination for so many reasons. Their beauty, unique life patterns, migrations, and adaptations inspire people worldwide. The Calgary Zoo encourages visitors to learn as much as possible by visiting its butterfly garden. I recommend trying to plant a butterfly-friendly garden/habitat, reading more about these marvellous insects and get involved!
We went there with sweet little L and his mommy F. F is a super good friend and her baby son is so much joy! Thank F for your company and friendship always!
