Monarch Grove Kids Area

Step into a magical corner of the Mariposa Butterfly Festival where stories, creativity, and imagination come to life.

Monarch Grove is a special gathering place for children and families at the festival. Inspired by butterflies and the wonder of nature, this lively area invites young guests to slow down, listen to stories, create art, and experience the joy of imagination.

Throughout the weekend, families can gather for Storytime with Mari the Monarch, a beloved character who shares tales about butterflies, adventure, and the beauty of the natural world.

Between storytimes, children will also enjoy special storytelling visits from Miranda the Forest Fairy, whose whimsical stories bring the magic of the forest to life.

Monarch Grove is also filled with hands-on fun where children can participate in:

Children’s crafts and creative art projects

Face painting

Balloon art

Interactive storytelling experiences

It’s a joyful space where children can create, imagine, and experience the magic of butterflies in a playful and welcoming environment.
