We went on a cool wet October day. Nice displays and plenty of things to check out. Very informative. The glass house has unique foliage. The waterfalls are beautiful and serene. There were more butterflies than we could imagine. There were benches setup in great locations to view the best parts. We spent 2-1/2 hours strolling through and enjoying the sights and sounds.

Very enjoyable and relaxing place to visit. I liked most things about this butterfly house. There are enough trails to walk around and ample space for seatings. A lot to so around here. Good for family day trips as well. Will definitely visit again. Keep up the good work.

The butterfly greenhouse is very beautiful. The greenhouse warm and humid. The insect collection outside of the greenhouse is nice. Near the place there is a recommended playground for families with small children. Recommend for Travelers and families with free extra time to spend.

Went for a wonderful walk today. Weather was great and it was beautiful outside. I loved all of the butterfly statues to pose with. Beautiful! Came here when I was a kid and walked through the butterfly house and went on the carousel. I have great memories from that.

Beautiful place! Need reservations before you arrive due to Covid. Spent an hour in the butterfly greenhouse. Couldve bought everything in the gift shop. We will be back!

Cool place to take the kids. Butterflys were everywhere and the landscaping is beautiful. Stayed for 1 hour.

The Butterfly House is a fantastic place to visit, especially if you have children. The staff are warm and engaging and there are often lots of activities for children, including some neat crafts. Admission is reasonably priced, but if you plan to visit more than once a membership is highly recommended -- keep in mind that it includes membership at the Missouri Botanical Garden as well!

In the conservatory youre surrounded by a variety of exotic plant and butterfly species. Because of the climate controlled environment its a peaceful tropical paradise 365 days a year.

Looks gorgeous from the outside.Not open on Monday or Tuesdays.Google said different, but Google dont know everything!

Always a fun and beautiful place to visit! I come here frequently with my family to enjoy the large playground, the 1800s village, carousel and of course the butterfly house. Even in the waning days of winter you can still enjoy the beautiful butterflys in the conditioned greenhouse complete with orchids, waterfalls and blooming flowers.

Beautiful plants even even more beautiful butterflies. The staff were very courteous and helpful. Everyone seemed to be interested in their work there.

Even during a worldwide pandemic this place is an absolute treat. Polite staff, limited people within the exhibits, and beautiful butterflies everywhere made for a wonderful visit. I cant wait to come again.

This is an amazing place. They import butterflies constantly so there are hundreds flying around all year. The orchids and water features are beautiful. Its relatively small but you can spend hours here if youre looking to photograph some butterflies and plant life. Plus in spring and summer I would bet the outdoor butterfly garden is amazing. Kids will love it.

It was wonderful, the butterflies were so vibrant and the facility was very clean

Good time, as always. Requires you to keep a mask on, even while in the outdoor section of thier garden. Take that however you feel. Just know what you are getting into.

Great experience for little kids. The Butterfly House is doing a great job taking precautionary steps to make it as safe as possible to all visitors during the pandemic.

A relaxing fascinating beautiful place to visit. Gorgeous flowers. Beautiful butterflies. Loved it. So worth it!

Never fails to smaze me,my favorite place to be alone or share with my grandson! First time ever with my Maddie and wr did a release. It was magical!

Great place to take kids, elderly or even to take your spouse on a date. Alot of fun and tons to learn that you didnt know. Butterflies and plants for different regions of the word. They will land on you, so dont freak out. They also have a great garden area out back.

Such a huge variety of butterflies in the conservatory, and it was a big size house as well! Also, I could stay for as long as I wanted!!! There were lots of activities for kids to do, too. For $8 as an adult, it was worth it, especially since I like to professional style of photos. Lots of opportunities to take shots. I will post some in a few days when I get back from vacation. The staff was great, too. Very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. Lastly, I was actually surprised how many butterflies landed on me. I stood still so others could take pictures. I will post one now. The one thing to be mindful of is dont touch the butterflies at all. If they land on you dont touch their wings they have a substance on them that actually helps them fly.

Have an afternoon to kill? This is the perfect spot to hang out at for an hour or two. Also if youre looking for a unique thing to do on a date this place is perfect.

Covid was a blessing in disguise as the guided tour we had was fantastic. The Person who gave us the tour was very knowledgeable and answered all of my 6 year olds questions.Very patient as well.. Great staff, great place to vist.Kudos.

Great place to see nature indoors! Kids will love the bug exhibits plus the large greenhouse full of fluttering butterflies. Fun for all

The place is amazing. Maggie was so helpful!! Everything was clean. Definitely a great experience.

Even though so.e things were limited due to Covid. My granddaughter loved it as did I . Could have sat there all day watching the butterflies. The foliage was absolutely fantastic. Loved it

The butterfly house is beautiful and amazing! They have tons of bugs you can see and a huge green house full of only butterflies and plants. around the butterfly house is a carousel and a playground. That’s why this has 5 stars!

Take a trip to the tropics right here in St. Louis! The Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House is perfect any time throughout the year. Educate yourself and your kids about the beautifully colorful pollinators that have inspired the imagination of dreamers and artists alike throughout history. The opportunities for incredible photographs and the activities for the little ones make these smaller, less familiar creatures a bit more accessible.

They have different insects and bugs that the kids can learn about. Theres a big tank of roaches that is always a favorite with the kids. The butterfly conservatory is beautiful with topical plants and the temperature is warm. You are asked to check for any hitchhiking butterflies when you leave. The two gentleman working there were very friendly and great with the kids. There were volunteers sitting in the hallway that shared information with the kids about pollinators. Theres also a beautiful outdoor butterfly garden.

I really enjoyed seeing all the butterflies flying around and trying to get good pictures of each of them to show off their true beauty!

This place is beautiful and war. On the coldest of days! They had things for children to make and color, a movie, gift shop, and a beautiful glass atrium!

Fun but definitely geared towards smaller kiddos than mine. We spent about an hour here and for $31 admission, wouldve liked to have had more to do! It was COLD and windy so we skipped the whole outdoor portion. Theres also a super nice park nextdoor we didnt get to visit because of the weather. Overall Id recommend it if you only have a short time to fill or have smaller kids, but definitely not enough to fill a whole day.

Spent an enjoyable hour looking at all these amazing butterflies within the butterfly House. Theyre literally hundreds if not thousands free flying within this domed glass area lot of tropical plants just an awesome place is sir and admire the beauty.

Beautiful place. So many pretty butterflies, and they seemed really happy too! Here are some photos I took.

If you love butterflies and walking through greenhouses this place is wonderful. Many beautiful plants and flowers and many different kinds of butterflies. Children and adults alike seemed to be enjoying. .

Such a beautiful place to go and enjoy the beautiful butterflies. Its so rel6

Incredible experience for the whole family. Beautiful scenery and well-kept exotic gardens. Friendly staff that have a lot of knowledge they try to share with smiles on their faces. A big playground outside of the butterfly house & many wildlife naturally enjoying the area. Would rate 10 stars if I could.

Breathtaking. The actual enclosure is small and intimate, but there are so many butterflies that you could walk in circles for an hour and never stop seeing new things. The entrance fee of $8 is very reasonable, and we will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Beautiful place and experience for the whole family. Very knowledgeable entomologists on staff. Great gift shop with something for everyone.

I absolutely LOVE this place! The garden is beautiful, there is a sensory trail for the kids, the conservatory lets newly emerged butterflies loose every day at 2. I highly recommend getting a membership as it can be used at the Botanical Gardens too!!

I always enjoy this place. Its a great place to take children or just go yourself. The butterflies are very active and they are everywhere. At 2pm every day the release the newly hatched butterflies and moths into the house. Has a beautiful pond out front and a private garden area you can reserve for partys.

Morph madness included the large iridescent blue morphos with their other beautiful butterflies. A peaceful sanctuary.

Really small but excellent butterfly house. Super educational and lots of butterflies!

This is a beautiful place to learn about butterflies and other insects. It is a short visit, roughly 1-2 hrs, unless you are there for an event. There is a great playground within walking distance. On this trip we found a Caterpillar on the playground so that was really cool.

Blue Morphos in Feb are so awesome to see. Relax and enjoy the warmth and butterflies even on a rainy day.

Very nice! The plants inside were almost as great as the butterflies.

So much fun to visit here....for kids and adults!

Beautiful butterfly conservatory. Very hot and humid inside the greenhouse tho. I think the admission fee raised from $5 to $8 now. But its still worthy to visit

We had a wonderful time at the butterfly house! Both the entomologist and staff on hand were very knowledgeable and pleasant! Beautiful place!

Fun place for a visit and educational. My most recent visit was better than the past, the plants inside seemed to be better cared for and there were more butterflies.This is a great stop on a cold or rainy day!

Cute lil place, lots of butterflies. Also got to hold a couple cool bugs. Enough entertainment to maybe last you an hour.

A lot of wonderful and beautiful butterflies that hover all around you as walk through the atrium.

A pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.

Went to butterfly house last Saturday as it’s near and a good option during last days of winter.I felt it is a good place for kids. The butterfly room has lots of butterflies of different varieties.they have new butterflies release program every day. There is a Video every half an hour which makes found very informative. Some fun games for kids as well. Those statues of butter fly and caterpillar outside are good photospots. Even for adults , one time we can go there. With all these, I still felt the entry price was bit high as that is the only attraction in it..

Great place for some bugs and sweat. A must see if in the area.

You must purchase your tickets online!! The butterflies are active and beautiful, the social distancing rules arent difficult to deal with.

My children loved visiting the Butterfly House. While we were living in Chesterfield we would stop by frequently. We attended their Mardi Gras celebration and it was so much fun for our kids. Face painting, live music and of course the beautiful butterflies! The staff is friendly and engaging.

Was an amazing experience get to see butterflies up and close

This place is special. Great time, lovely gardens, & the butterflies are amazing.

Fun place, educational and beautiful

Bring the kids very nice outing

Looks like it would be a cool place... but check in online and reserve spot before you go

Delighted to encounter a lovely quilt exhibit by Bits and Pieces.

As advertised tons of butterflies. Pretty cool carousel on the property too.

I have been here a few times before and even though it is hot and muggy it is a wonderful experience and a ton of fun

Absolutely love this butterfly house every time we visit. Pricing is fair and supports the center and its programs. Fun sculptures out front, seating inside the butterfly area to watch and admire the butterflies, area to view cocoons and if you’re lucky see a butterfly emerge! Neat little pollinator garden to enjoy as well. Right across from it is a sizable playground with picnic area. Nice short stop for the butterfly enthusiast of any age.

Great for the family young and old. Beautiful place to practice your photography, stroll at your own pace and shop a little if you like. The staff was very pleasant

A premiere childrens destination, the Butterfly House allows the little ones to roam the 8,000 sq. ft. all-glass conservatory with thousands of butterflies in tropical temperatures. There are also exhibits on other insects and a large gift shop with nice gifts.

This was my daughters first field trip and my first time being there. It was fun to learn about the butterflies and then see so many. My daughter even had a butterfly land on her.

Perfect in the WINTER because this place is warm and tropical! A great way to kick the winter blues! Only 8$ to get in and you can just sit and relax and de-stress. It was quite and peaceful on the snowy Sunday that I went, but I bet it does get pretty busy in the summer. This place is a GEM in the winter for me to help cure the dreary winter sadsies.

Lovely place to visit. You can sit down and enjoy the butterflies flying around you. Also at the door you can get a sheet with names and photos of all the butterflies inside so you can try to spot them which can be fun for kids too

It was fun! I wish it was bigger so I could explore more!

Very nice! Lots of butterflies and educational things to do.

Great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful butterflies and plants.

Beautiful place to have Butterflies land on you.

Nice relaxing spot to enjoy nature and beautiful butterflies

Its an awesome garden, ideally for families with young children. Do not miss the carousel nearby.

Amazing experience! Always really fun to walk around in the butterflies natural habitat. Plus there is an awesome park surrounding it. Well worth it!!

Had a wonderful time with my 6 and 7 year old half-sisters here. The garden and playground close by provided hours of entertainment. Great place for young ones, both interesting and educational.

The building has a small gift shop, about 12 to 15 insect and arachnid tanks, an educational room, a decent botanical garden and walking path, an event tent, restrooms and of course, the butterfly greenhouse. The greenhouse was gorgeous with tropical plants, vines and flowers, not to mention the hundreds or more butterflies fluttering around. We each ended up having one land on us since we were sweaty from the playground. There was also a chrysalis hatching observatory. Some employees brought out a millipede and stag beetle for kids to pet. The place is not big, but they pack bunches of greatness into it. This is NOT the Botanical Garden, as that is in actual St Louis area.

This is a fun place. I would have liked a bit more to do there but we spent a good hour and a half there.

The most amazing place. Id go everyday if I could. I give it 100000 stars. The butterflies were beautiful and it made me feel like a kid all over again. One landed on me and I was beyond excited. Also they have cool merchandise like this necklace

Glad I didnt have to drag my kids out this year because they were terrified of the butterflies! Lol I love the Butterfly House. The staff is amazing, always more than helpful, and they always seem to teach us something new everytime we go.Butterflies are super creepy to me, but I try to be strong for my kids! Haha

Had a very enjoyable time. Quite a few butterflies

Always a fun, inexpensive time :)

Beautiful opportunity to get up close to butterflies. The room with the butterflies is quite warm, so dress appropriately. Good for children and adults alike.

An amazing place! Love it

Mind blowing experience ! World of butterflies!

If you love butterflies this is the place to go. It never fails to amaze me the beauty that they have. I do live going there it is very relaxing

Great for kids of all ages.

Staff was very helpful. Clean, simple environment. It was absolutely beautiful.

The best experience our family has had in a long time. It was a magical birthday weekend for my two birthday girls. They ate breakfast with the hungry caterpillar and then got to see tons of butterflies. Simply MAGICAL!! I won best dad award for sure.lol

Gorgeous place, of course. Remember to dress for the climate (it’s HOT inside - wear layers & be prepared to drop lots at the coat rack outside the greenhouse!). Sometimes the main interpretive area for children (the classroom) is closed, so don’t pin your play date hopes on that. Best visits are when the weather is nice and you can go across the street to the Faust Park playground after. Don’t forget that it’s free for STL City/County residents on the first Tuesday every month until noon

It was beautiful and I love how many colors there are!

This was a lot of fun. The grounds will look amazing in spring. We arrived a little before the blooming season so we stayed inside. The butterfly house is not very large, so take your time when youre inside. There is plenty to look at.

If you love butterflies and appreciate the marvels of creation, then do not miss the Butterfly House. Just be careful not to step on any. Check out the live insects and gift shop. Enjoy a 15 minuet video that will educate you about butterfly’s. Oh, and don’t forget to ride the carousel.

Great place to go with family and enjoy nature! Very interesting and knowledgeable facts about things in nature we often take for granted.

All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The facility isnt very large, but the greenhouse is fun to wander through. When I went, they were having a special event with extra Blue Morpho butterflies. It was so much fun!

We always love the butterfly house! The butterflies are beautiful and the playground outside is great too!! There is also the carousel. . It is nostalgic

I loved this place! There is a variety of butterflies to look at, and its just presented so beautifully!

Great place for families, friends and groups.
