BUTTERFLY BLIZZARD
November 27-January 3 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily

It’s a blizzard of a different color this winter at Reiman Gardens in Ames. Take a warm, colorful break from the whites of winter to the colorful and warm, tropical Butterfly Wing.

Beginning the day after Thanksgiving through January 3 get stranded in an entire Blizzard of Butterflies and don’t worry about shoveling your way out. It will be serene and beautiful as many more butterflies will fill the Christina Reiman Butterfly Wing like you’ve never seen it before. Take shelter in the holiday-themed Conservatory and find the perfect gift for everyone on your “nice” list at the Gardens’ Gift Shop.
