Monarch Butterfly Day  Saturday, February 2, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

On Saturday, children and their families will have the chance to experience butterfly overload during the fourth-annual Monarch Butterfly Day at Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley.

The event, recommended for those ages 4-12, is meant to provide children with information about the monarch butterfly and will have two experts on hand inside a butterfly-filled tent.  My wife and mother-in-law took our girls last year and they had a wonderful time.

Inside the tent, children will experience the thrill of having a butterfly land on their hands. There will also be more than 150 types of vegetation that attract butterflies, which people will be able to plant in the Butterfly Garden at Mile Square Park’s Camp Sycamore.

Monarch Butterfly Day runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and also features puppet shows, face painting and a nature walk, according to park ranger Jeff Hentzen, who is one of the people organizing the event. Last year’s butterfly day attracted about 700 kids, he said.
