Rosine Smith Sammons Butterfly House
and Insectarium: Grand Opening Celebration a huge success!
Rain didn't stop the butterflies from putting on quite a show over opening weekend, and it didn't slow down more than 1,500 guests from touring our brand new butterfly house.
All weekend long, families explored the two-story butterfly house and its 20 species of butterflies. More than 500 butterflies flew around the conservatory. Back in the main building, families enjoyed crafts, butterfly face painting, and visits with WFAA's Gloria Campos and children's book author Joan Hogge, among others.
We’d like to give a big thanks to our wonderful sponsors for Grand Opening events, including Calloway’s Nursery, Dallas Child Magazine, El Centro College,
Half Price Books, Preservation Tree Services, Redwood Creek Wines, Southwest Airlines, Starbucks, Wendy Krispin Caterer, and WRR 101.1 FM.
