✨ Event Details
Join us for a family-friendly morning watching the incredible monarch butterfly migration in Cape May! Every fall, thousands of monarchs stop here to rest and refuel before making their long journey south.
We’ll meet at 11:00 AM to learn a little about monarchs and their favorite nectar plants, then take a slow walk through the pollinator gardens and along the harbor overlook. This is a perfect outing for children, families, and nature lovers alike!
