Olbrich Botanical Gardens: Experience the wonder of strolling through a tropical rain forest on a search for fleeting butterflies. Live butterflies are emerging from chrysalises daily in the Bolz Conservatory. The Bolz Conservatory, which will house the live butterflies, is a two-story glass pyramid filled with exotic plants from around the world, a rushing waterfall, fragrant orchids, and free-flying birds, and for one month out of the year, thousands of colorful butterflies. The dainty painted lady, the exquisite swallowtail, the tropical zebra butterflies, and many others will all float through the lush greenery feeding on the nectar of bright flowers. Up to two dozen species of butterflies, native to both Wisconsin and tropical areas of the southern United States, can be seen at various times during the exhibit.

The go-karts, including Titan's Tower and Trojan Horse, incorporate elevated tracks and wild Greek mythology themes.
