Have you ever just sat and watched a butterfly fluttering about? It’s such a beautiful sight, isn’t it? While we can usually see a butterfly or two when we go outside, even in our own backyard, we’ll be treated to a really unique and fun experience at the Butterfly Atrium at Hershey Gardens, a butterfly wonderland in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

A stroll through the 23-acre Hershey Gardens offers the perfect opportunity to slow things down for a little bit, to just enjoy the moment.

While Hershey Gardens is full of life in the spring and summer, it also hosts events during the fall and at Christmastime.
One of the highlights of the gardens is the Butterfly Atrium, home to hundreds of butterflies, many of them rare and from such faraway places as Africa and Asia.
