Monarch Journey

Bring a Fun Learning Experience to your Classroom

Welcome

A Monarch Journey butterfly program brings a wealth of educational, fun and easy to understand information about the life cycle of the monarch butterfly, (Danaus, plexippus) using a variety of media, including live caterpillars and butterflies. Students and adults of all ages benefit from the experience of seeing live monarch butterfly caterpillars munching milkweed in a safe-for-the-caterpillar environment. Check out the program page for more information and fee schedule.

In light of past and present Covid 19 and school, library, and nursing home visiting restrictions, Monarch Journey has temporarily suspended indoor butterfly program bookings for the 2022 Spring, Summer and Fall season. Please inquire if you are interested in booking a 2022 OUTDOOR Fall program or Spring 2023 indoor program (circumstances permitting), Spring, Summer or Fall 2023 outdoor program.

The Monarch Journey website is under construction for the next few months. Please bear with me as I continue to update the site.
