By Wesley Mathews


If you have not been to Panama City Beach lately then you've got new things to look forward to during your getaway here. The Butterfly Pavilion is the latest addition to the wonderful Pier Park and it is deservedly getting attention from many vacationers and local people as well. Regardless of who you are, this brand new addition is guaranteed to have you awestruck with the many butterflies flitting about filling the entire area with a variety of colors.

The Butterfly Pavilion

Based on a News Herald report, families with youngsters are particularly enjoying the display of colors put on by these insects at Pier Park. There are reportedly 400 butterflies here and all of them are native to Florida. As there are no exotic varieties, all of these insects are permitted to mate freely. There may soon be up to 600 of these exquisite butterflies delighting visitors to the park. Among these you can find monarchs, buckeyes, zebra longwings, Julias, painted ladies, great Southern whites and much more. The pavilion carries a careful collection of plants that are delectable to these insects so they have plenty to feed on here. As well as passion vines and milk vines, you will also find vibrant flowers contributing to the gorgeous display here.

About the Pier Park

Working behind the scenes to bring the Park's numerous attractions to the public are the Meeks couple- Teddy and Jenny. The initial attraction here was the painted pony carousel that once operated on the old Miracle Strip on Front Beach. When the Meeks' discovered simply how much the tourists loved it, they decided to expand with more rides and attractions. The latest addition, the butterfly pavilion, was put up here after painstaking research by Teddy Meeks, who concluded that there was nothing comparable to this in all of Northwest Florida. He received inspiration from the large butterfly habitat at Callaway Gardens, Ga. The pavilion at Pier Park is a much smaller version of the Callaway gardens attraction with its 2000 tropical butterflies, though. By having a nominal entry fee of $3.50 per person and kids under 2 being admitted absolutely free with paying adults there is no reason for you to miss out on this spectacular exhibit of nature's finest creations at Pier Park.

Walk down Memory Lane at Pier Park

A journey to Pier Park may get rather nostalgic with the numerous rides that Jenny and Teddy Meeks have reconditioned to operating condition from the old Miracle Strip. The Carousel, the Balloon racer and the Red Baron plane are three of the 'old timers' that are enormously popular today with the crowds. There are some new additions to the rides that will be just as exciting too. There is certainly enough here to occupy you and your family for the whole day so acquiring an All day pass is not a bad idea at all!
