The Butterfly House is always on my to-do list when I go the the Island. I love it. Watch where you step and check for hitch-hikers before you leave! Fabulous.
The butterfly house on Mackinac Island is a wonderful place to visit. My youngest son went there for a field trip in 6th grade and we all had a blast not only in the butterfly house, but on the island itself. Hope to get back up there soon…..
I have a wonderful picture of my husband from the eyes up with a beautiful butterfly perched on his head. 🙂 We love the Butterfly House!
Love that place, the butterflies tried to go home with me. 🙂 Not just butterflies, loved the lizards and frogs and snakes. 🙂
I love the butterfly house! Just watching them and all their beautiful colors is so mesmerizing. I go every year.
It’s “Enchanting!” Love the music too:o)
