Feelin' Hot, Hot

Your heating bill has been a little high this winter, hasn't it? Well, that's what happens when you keep turning up the thermostat every five minutes to get your furnace to kick on — hovering over the register feels good at the time, but your bank account certainly doesn't like it after the fact. Save some money this weekend, and let the Butterfly House in Faust Park (15193 Olive Boulevard, Chesterfield) foot some of your warm-up bill during the family-focused Hot, Hot, Hot! events. Admission to these tropical parties costs $4 to $6 — how affordable! — and includes entrance to the always-85-degrees butterfly conservatory, plus mucho activities for the kids. The little ones will stay busy playing a variety of games and making a starfish superstar, a visor and more, while you relax to the sounds of the steel drum on Saturday and the music of the Samba Bom Trio on Sunday (January 26 and 27). Get hot, hot, hot from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days; call 636-530-0076 or visit www.butterflyhouse.org for more information.
