Butterfly House at Natural History Museum
Kids, families, and nature lovers of all ages can enjoy the Butterfly House at Natural History Museum series of events and exhibits, including the butterly exhibition. Visitors can enter the house and come face to face with tropical butterflies from around the world. 100s of live butterflies will be feeding from their specially located tables, and hatchery windows invite visitors to witness pupae growing and emerging into butterflies.

Exhibition
As you head off on the butterfly trail, there's plenty of special exhibits on route through the Butterfly House at Natural History Museum to capture the imagination. Kids will be thrilled to get hold of their own butterfly chart which can be stamped at each different location within the sensory zones. Five different areas are set up within the exhibition with butterflies on show in each area, which cover smell, sight, touch, taste and sound. There are also several interactive activities to take part in on the way round.

Outdoor fun
Alongside the real life butterflies, there's also plenty of outdoor fun to be had at the Natural History Museum's butterfly exhibition. With a maze, a treehouse and a kids play area all located in the outdoor garden, this is the perfect summer exhibition for entertaining kids from now until it closes in September 2011.

The Butterfly House at Natural History Museum takes place from 10am - 6pm, Thursday 12th April - Sunday 11th September 2011. Tickets are £3.50 for adults and £3.50 for children. Kids under 3 go free. For more information and to book your tickets, call 0207 942 5725
