Since then she has written for a number of print and online publications, as well as published a children's book.
Even if the calendar says spring, but the weather suggests otherwise, there is a place in Cincinnati where you’ll always find warmth and bright colors. Krohn Conservatory is a beloved destination in our city that is truly unique and inviting. While it’s open all year long, Krohn is probably best known for its seasonal spring show, which is always centered around the beautiful butterfly. The showroom is filled with thousands of butterflies, and you can walk amongst them in this magical butterfly house that would make a great day trip this spring in Cincinnati.
Krohn Conservatory is located within historic Eden Park, just minutes from downtown Cincinnati.
A previous year's show is pictured above, but the title of this year's event is "Butterflies of Madagascar." This light-filled room is packed full of colorful foliage and of course, thousands of butterflies.

The gardens of the show are specifically chosen and planted to represent the natural beauty of Madagascar.

Known as the "Island of Rainbows," Madagascar is an African country that is filled with vibrant colors, plant life, and wildlife. That vibrancy is represented in this year's show.
The butterflies that are floating around this glass house aren't like the ones you'll see in your backyard. These are exotic, vibrantly colored species that are making themselves at home amongst the richly-colored plants.
While it's not encouraged for you to reach out and grab at or pick up the butterflies, Krohn provides different ways for you to get up close to them.
As you exit the Butterfly Show and are looked over to make sure none of them are trying to come home with you, you'll definitely recognize that this is one of the most unique experiences in Cincinnati.
This year's show is open now and running through June 17, 2018. The conservatory is open every day from 10 am to 5 pm, but they also offer special events, so be sure to check their website (linked below) for details.
