Kids Summer Coloring Contest at Butterfly Wonderland

Children naturally love art – from blending finger-paint, to outlining with markers, sprinkling glitter, and even rinsing off a paint brush. Creativity is like magic to kids because it fosters a safe haven for their imagination to soar. The Butterfly Wonderland invites kids (ages 7 to 17) to participate in a coloring contest for a chance to win a $50 Visa gift card. Contest begins on July 1 with a deadline of July 19. All entries will be displayed at the wonderland, so make sure to mail them in or drop off to Guest Services. Templates are available online.

Your child will love dressing up for tea. A floppy hat and floral dress are recommended. The tea room is open daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closed for national holidays.
