Construction continued Sunday at the insect-themed museum and entertainment center on Windsor Road, but an official opening date has not yet been made public.
The center, called World of Wings, is planned to include insect exhibits a live butterfly conservatory and small reptiles, project representatives have said. The Teaneck zoning board approved variances sought by the facility in October.
A company spokesperson could not be immediately reached Monday, but “coming soon” signs marked with the World of Wings logo have appeared at the construction site. The location will be hiring and is set to include two gift shops, according to the World of Wings Facebook page.
“The exhibits will focus mostly on butterflies and moths of the world, but there will be several different live exhibits,” World of Wings said in a previous statement. “We want to educate and expose the public to nature, and the beauty of these creatures, in a fun, educational way.”
The 5.8-acre World of Wings site was once home to Givaudan, a Swiss fragrance company, which sold the property.

Someone told me that WOW has some religious connection. I see nothing on their Facebook page or here that would confirm that. Is there any truth to the statement?

Should that matter? We finally are seeing someone who would be paying taxes in Teaneck for a change. I hope they do......

This place is not a religious place. "World of Wings" the museum with butterfly conservatory atrium, arts management and exhibition center. "children's place".

Hi Diane,
WOW has no religious connections, and we are open to all beliefs and ideas. For those who need to know, the owner is a practicing Christian, but his faith is his own and does not influence World of Wings or its staff.
All the best,
Grace

As much as we love chicken, we're in the business with a different kind of wing!
World of Wings, as well as being a children's museum, will have many different food options; from sit-down dining to grab-n-go snacks.
Just wingin' it,

Here's our original article from last year with more details about the plans: http://teaneck.patch.com/articles/insect-themed-entertainment-center-planned-for-windsor-road
I'm not aware of a religious connection, but can check into that. Not much else has been made public about the project so far.

Dear Mr. Noah Cohen;
I like your comments and articles very much, and thank you for your concentration efforts in our project. But, please correct the information. we never work on Sundays. Especially, Bergen County prohibits construction work on Sundays. Those photos are from during the weekdays.
