Answer 1

Six Flags Marine World in Vallejo had a conservatory thing there at one point. not sure if it is still there after the remodel this year.

You might also try heading up to redding to Turtle Bay Exploration Park.

Also attached is a list of places where you can go to watch the monarch butterfly migration. they usually hit MOnterey and Santa Cruz areas.

Hmm... I live in Fremont, right near Ardenwood Farms, and I've never seen or even heard of any butterflies. I wonder when this migration pit-stop happens...

But the first thing that came to mind was Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo. A bit expensive, though, considering you're only interest is the Butterfly Garden, and not Shuka the Killer Whale or whatever. I was there last June, and WOOO HOOO! IT WAS HUMID in there! But, very beautiful. Gotta keep them butterflies from drying out and shriveling up I suppose. They have lots of different butterflies (I think some might be moths). There's even a koi pond inside. And just outside the butterfly exhibit, there are benches near a lake or some kind or waterway, for when you need to take a break from the humidity of the butterfly house!!!

According to the park map, it's still there. I'll put the link in, and you'll find the butterfly garden up at the top in the purple section, marked #93.

If you've got time, I guess you could call the east bay regional parks and ask them if/when the butterflies come to Ardenwood - it'll be a lot closer than Vallejo, and way cheaper!

Answer 3

Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont is a huge stop for migrating monarch butterflies. They just COVER the trees there, and sometimes, I watch huge clouds of them flying over the freeway.

Playa Del Carmen!! stay on the Royal Porto real its all inclusive and the nutrients is scrumptious, in assessment to three different all inclusives I even have encountered. Their rooms are 50% bigger than others with a jacuzzi interior the midst of the room. on the coastline they provide you beds to living room and sunbath particularly of a backyard chair, finished with sheets and pillows!!! they even provide you an array of sunscreen at your disposal. I even have in no way stayed at a greater ideal hotel in my existence! The coastline is eye-catching and the water is crystal sparkling blue. it truly is located marvelous off of the biggest highway on the city so there is a lot to do at evening in case you have any capability left. its finished with a spa with all of the centers. LOL, now i'm going with to bypass too.... oh great. wish you get the possibility to savour!!
