One of the most exciting parts of the year is taking place right now at Abilene Zoo! 🦋 Thousands of monarch butterflies are making their way south for the winter and making stops right here in Abilene. As part of the monarch SAFE program and home to a certified waystation, Abilene Zoo is proud to play a part in conserving this endangered species. Currently, several garden beds and trees are covered with monarchs. While harsh weather could limit how many you see, be sure to come by soon to observe this native American species in action.
