SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. –November 5, 2015–Together the elves at Butterfly Wonderland and Chapman Ford are already busy crafting the most extraordinary holiday venue ever! Beginning November 27 through December 23, a flurry of magic will transform Scottsdale’s ever-popular Butterfly Wonderland into a breathtaking holiday display. Visitors of all ages will be awe-struck as they walk through a “Winter Wonderland” amidst 3,000 butterflies fluttering freely in the magnificent glass atrium.
Standing majestically in the garden and throughout the entire facility, multiple living angel statues (standing more than 7 ft. tall!) will be adorned in head-to-toe silver with glittering wings of their own. Festive white, silver and powder blue seasonal décor will be ever present throughout the entire facility with the awe-inspiring brilliant Blue Morpho butterfly–a star amidst this amazing holiday spectacular.
In the lobby, guests will be greeted by an enormous, glowing Noble Fir Christmas tree dressed with shimmering ornaments and miniature lights that will twinkle with the magic of the season. Visitors will be welcomed into the rainforest with its lush foliage aglow from countless sparkling lights. The pathways will be festooned with luminaries and crystals strung throughout catching the glistening of the brilliant sunlight.
Holiday festivities at Butterfly Wonderland will also add to the yuletide fun. In addition to the presence of the living holiday angels, the sounds of seasonal music will fill the air with live entertainment every Friday-Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Visitors will bring home keepsake photos, while commemorative holiday ornaments and sparkling “butterfly wings” for children will be available for purchase in the Butterfly Treasures Gift Shop.
