Butterflies On the Go! Epcot Flower and Garden Festival!

The Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival has so many fun things to offer guests. From the beautiful flowers, to the amazing food, there’s something to appeal to anyone who visits. One attraction in particular that we enjoy is the Butterflies on the Go tent, located behind the Club Cool area.

The butterfly tent is a favorite for my family! Guests can go inside and see a variety of different species of butterflies, fluttering around gorgeous flowers and plants. There is also information posted inside the tent on different butterflies and the plants that attract them.
