The Butterfly House at Hershey Gardens hosts several hundered butterflies at any one time and about 25 different varieties.
The house also has 'hatching' area, where - if you stop by at the right time - you might catch a butterfly emerging from its chrysallis. Caterpillars can also be seen marching about, as you travel through the room.
The entrance & exit also contain 'airlocks' (the exit also has a mirror) to make sure you don't unknowingly carry any 'hitchhikers' out with you.
