 Welcome to the Wings of Mackinac web site. Our beautiful butterfly
conservatory is located on historic Mackinac
Island, Michigan.
You will enjoy visiting our all-glass Conservatory
with its beautiful lush plants surrounded by hundreds of butterflies,
dancing around you to gentle instrumental music.
Enjoy observing these fascinating creatures as they fly within
our specially designed butterfly greenhouse. Knowledgeable
curators and colorful exhibits teach you about the metamorphosis
from egg to larvae (caterpillar) to pupa (chrysalis) and finally
to the adult butterfly.
Visit the Butterflies page for
photos and information on our unique and exotic collection
and our Links page for a list
of other butterfly-related sites that might be of interest
to you. We have featured some plants that would be appropriate
for butterfly gardens on our Plants page.
Our attractive garden facility is available for special functions
from picnics to wedding receptions. Our Special
Events section
provides more details.
 We encourage the entire family to visit us. Wings of Mackinac
is fun and educational for all ages. We are a popular destination

staff will answer any of your questions and there are plenty

insects. Visit our attractive Gift Shop for many fun science
and souvenir related gifts.
