Opening this Saturday, a butterfly exhibit at Mayfair Mall will allow an up-close education about butterflies.

The exhibit allows children and families the opportunity to get close to hundreds of butterflies while learning about them with the help of an educational guide.

The exhibit, held in Mayfair Mall's Center Court, will be open during all regular mall hours, and admission is only $1.  Families will have the opportunity to purchase a butterfly box for $8, which will show the process of a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly over the course of 15-25 days.

Mayfair's butterfly exhibit will run from Saturday, July 16 until Saturday, Aug. 6.
