Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center, Tropical butterfly conservatory in Pine Mountain, Georgia, US
The Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center contains a 7,300-square-foot glass dome rising 35 feet high, housing over 1,000 tropical butterflies from 50 different species.
The center opened on September 25, 1988, becoming one of the first three butterfly centers in the United States, named after Days Inn founder Cecil B. Day.
The center sources butterflies from farming families in Malaysia, Tanzania, Costa Rica, Philippines, El Salvador, and Ecuador, supporting local economies and rainforest preservation.
The center operates daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with admission prices of $20 for adults, $15 for seniors, and $10 for children aged 6 to 12.
Air blasts at doorways prevent butterflies from escaping the conservatory, which maintains a constant temperature of 80°F and 74% humidity for optimal conditions.
