The Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House is part of the Missouri Botanical Garden but is located in Faust Park in Chesterfield, Missouri, within the greater St. Louis metropolitan area. The butterfly house itself is not large, but is situated on a pleasant spot within the park next to a pond and lots of different plants. The butterfly house’s structure encompasses a small gift shop and some exhibits on butterflies, alongside other information about Missouri animals and habitats. Just off the main hallway of the butterfly house is the greenhouse-like structure in which the butterflies actually live. While the greenhouse area isn’t huge, it still has a nice pathway that leads through carefully curated plants and trees. As you walk, butterflies flutter around the space, especially occupying the places where food has been laid out for them. There are a variety of butterflies, with signs signaling to visitors which butterflies are which and some characteristics on each of the different types. In addition to the space in which the butterflies live, there is another pleasant outdoor area where visitors can enjoy more of the natural world. While the butterfly house is not a place to spend an entire day, it is an enjoyable place to spend an hour or so, soaking in the wonders of nature.
