Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory & Gardens
A Beautiful Haven!
Sarah Cody, Fox 61 Reporter
SOUTH DEERFIELD, MA —
Fly away to this lovely conservatory not far from Historic Deerfield Center.
Magic Wings houses more than two thousand butterflies which are flown in from all over the world. Learn about life cycles, migration, food sources and more! Nature lovers will also love to stroll through the four thousand square foot conservatory filled with rare plants, such as multi-colored hibiscus. Even though the beatiful winged creatures fly all around, owners ask visitors not to touch the butterflies. The oils on our hands are not safe for them to ingest. But if one happens to land on your clothes or hair -- so be it!
