Wings of Mackinac Butterfly Conservatory is a beautiful tropical greenhouse in Surrey Hills on Mackinac Island that provides a home to hundreds of butterflies that roam free between colorful tropical blooms. Stone fountains provide soothing humidity and a pleasant sound of falling water, making the environment as delightful for the butterflies as it is to visitors.

The Conservatory opened its doors in 1997 and moved to its current location in 2002. Their partnership with Carriage Tours makes a stop at the Conservatory a wonderful option for the tourist of Mackinac Island. Over the years, butterflies in the conservatory have been joined by finches, a box turtle called Gennie, a Scarlet McCaw aptly called “Mackie J” or The Mackinac Jewel, Cammie the chameleon, goats Pierre and Surrey and tree frogs.
