The ribbon cutting has been rescheduled to Tuesday, March 21 from 2–3 p.m. due to the inclement weather.

Constructed in 1975, the Alden B. Dow-designed building transforms cool days into a warm tropical respite. Enjoy stunning additions like a light-filled lobby and a brand-new water feature that incorporates moving water in seven different ways. Floor-to-ceiling double-pane insulated windows offer a picturesque view of the nearby red bridge and interpretive displays supplement the exhibit experience. Additional improvements include renovation of the restrooms, an energy-efficient comprehensive control system, below-grade waterproofing improvements, and the creation of a dedicated butterfly “pinning room” with a public viewing window. The popular Butterflies in Bloom exhibit returns to Dow Gardens March 3, 2023.
