Was jere way to late in the year. Didnt see a single butterfly. Was my fault though. Hope to visit again. As they have a lot of plants that would attract them.

The butterfly house held colorful butterfly in a large enclosure. One big room with lots of native habitat. Did someone say turtles too?

Small and not a very exotic variety of butterflies but well worth the stop when combined with the rest of the garden

Always loved the place... Watch for the wasps-- there a few lurking. But there were plenty of critters (turtles, butterflies etc)One day I hope to spot the miniture quail used for pest control. (Ants were a bit out of control)Lovely place.Great for kids!

Great place for a family outing if you love nature like we do. This isnt just something to walk through and look at, but can teach you about the different variations of butterflies and give you a more in depth knowledge of them. Gorgeous place.

Such an amazing experience! From the butterflies, to the turtles. The relaxing waterfall bench and the beautiful flora. This was above and beyond my favorite part of my time in the gardens. Make sure to slow down and enjoy your time in the butterfly house, and remember that the butterflies love sweat, and you could experience a tickle from one landing one you if you are still and calm.

This is a wonderful place to sit and relax with a bunch of butterflies. Its very pretty and keep your eyes out in the water to see some turtles. I would recommend visiting later in the day though as school groups do crowd it making photos hard.

A gorgeous, crucial place to visit in the Botanical Gardens! Theres lots of neat informational displays in front, and the butterfly house itself is just awesome to experience. Its bigger than youd think, with butterflies, bees (sometimes), turtles, frogs and the occassional other reptile on display.A must-see for any visit--local or tourist.

Cool room. Great for kids who dont mind learning and wonderful for adults. I dont really recommend it for kids who need to be hands on to be entertained because they cant really touch anything here.

The butterfly house is so much fun. There are butterflies, gardens, water with rocks and turtles. There is a nice brick path to follow around the house and an upstairs observation area. There are snakes to observe in a cage and a bear to hug in the lobby. Also you will find restrooms and water fountain.
