The butterfly house has 100's of butterflies in free flight along with numerous tropical plants. The coordinates listed are from where I took the pictures. To enter the butterfly house use N 38° 39.891 W 090° 32.553. The 8,000 square foot is sheathed with 646 - 4'x 6' pieces of glass each weighing 200 lbs. The center of five vaults in the roof is 36 feet above the ground. The five vaulted ceiling is designed for a natural and safe environment for the butterflies and to minimize visual and flight obstructions. To see more of the building and its content see my waymark in the butterfly house category Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House and to find out more about the Butterfly House see their official website.
