Promptly At 6:30pm anyone participating in the Butterfly release will go onto the main level deck.  Mary will announce for everyone to make a wish and release their butterflies. 
We can then all share in this amazing moment.

Note: The butterflies need daylight for their release.   As the butterfly warms, it will start to stand up and flap its wings slowly.

Photo: You may have a solid minute to take pictures before the butterfly flies away, so have your camera ready!

Indian Legend about butterflies
As the Indian legend goes if anyone desires a wish to come true they must capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it.  Since they make no sound, they can't tell the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit.  So by making the wish and releasing the butterfly it will be taken to the heavens and granted.
                             
May all your wishes come true!
