ENC Newport Beach
One of my favorite places to visit in Newport Beach, is the Environmental Nature Center (ENC). The ENC’s mission is to provide quality education, through hands-on experiences with nature. It is a fantastic place to visit, especially during butterfly season.
Each year the center holds an open house for its butterfly house and a spring festival. We’ve attended a few times before, and my kiddos have loved it! The butterfly house at the ENC, is Orange County’s only butterfly home and is home to butterflies and plants, that are considered native to Orange County. The Spring Faire features crafts for the kiddos, face painting, henna tattoos, storytelling, nature walks, and so much more!

The Spring Faire Butterfly Open House, will take place on Sunday, May 5th, from 10am to 3pm. We’ve had a great time before, and so will you. Best of all it is Free, although donations are always welcomed! For additional information head here.
