Regardless of who you are, this new addition will certainly have you entranced with the many butterflies flitting about filling the entire area with a myriad of colors.
The Butterfly Pavilion
In accordance with a News Herald report, families with kids are particularly enjoying the exhibit of colors put on by these insects at Pier Park. There are reportedly 400 butterflies here and all of them are native to Florida. Because there are no exotic varieties, all of these insects are allowed to mate freely. There may soon be as much as 600 of these stunning butterflies delighting vacationers to the park. Among these you’ll find monarchs, buckeyes, zebra longwings, Julias, painted ladies, great Southern whites and much more. The pavilion incorporates a careful collection of plants that are delectable to these insects to make sure they have plenty to feed on here. Along with passion vines and milk vines, you will also find vibrant flowers adding to the impressive display here.
About the Pier Park
Working behind the scenes to bring the Park’s several attractions to the public are the Meeks couple- Teddy and Jenny. The first attraction here was the painted pony carousel that once operated on the old Miracle Strip on Front Beach. When the Meeks’ discovered how much the people loved it, they decided to expand with additional rides and attractions. The newest addition, the butterfly pavilion, was added here after meticulous research by Teddy Meeks, who discovered that there was nothing comparable to this in all of Northwest Florida. He received inspiration from the large butterfly habitat at Callaway Gardens, Ga. The pavilion at Pier Park is a smaller version of the Callaway gardens attraction with its 2000 tropical butterflies, though. With a reasonable admission fee of $3.50 per person and children under 2 being admitted free of charge with paying adults there’s no reason for you to miss out on this amazing exhibit of nature’s finest creations at Pier Park.
Walk down Memory Lane at Pier Park
A getaway to Pier Park may get quite nostalgic with the many rides that Jenny and Teddy Meeks have resurrected to working condition from the old Miracle Strip. The Carousel, the Balloon racer and the Red Baron plane are three of the ‘old timers’ that are tremendously popular today with the crowds. There have been some new additions to the rides that will be just as exciting too. There is certainly enough here to occupy you and your family for the whole day so getting an All day pass is not a bad idea at all!
