The butterflies live in a greenhouse before being released. The greenhouse is heated to 85 F (29 C) and filled with tropical flowers and plants. Visitors can stroll through this lush environment to see the butterflies up close. There are around 1500 butterflies in the greenhouse at a time

Some interesting butterfly facts:

The oldest known butterfly fossel in the world is 90 million years old, which means butterflies have been inhabiting the earth for a very long time.

There are about 175,000 species of butterflies in the world.
