We had a nice visit! Mostly fun for the kids but also very chill for adults. The short 3D movie about butterfly migration was nice and educational. Also remember not to touch the real butterflies! My first instinct was to reach out to them since they are so pretty but I caught myself. They also had a mini aquarium/reptile exhibit that you can walk through after the butterfly area. Highly recommended to stop by if youre in the area.

A lovely place to bring the butterfly lover in your life. My favorite part is the hatching area just outside the butterfly enclosure. Its fascinating to watch the butterflies emerge from their chrysalis.They maintain a nice variety of butterflies and a peaceful setting in the enclosure. The plant life provides a lovely backdrop to the butterflies and the calming music really helps to set the scene.

Really beautiful to see..just prepare for the climate. Pretty warm and humid, tropical environment in the sanctuary. Very friendly staff. Short 3d film on monarch butterflies is interesting for all ages. Face mask is required..so again..be prepared for the tropical environment. The multi entertainment ticket is your best bet, a little pricey for just the butterfly exhibit especially due to the fact that you really cannot stay in there for too long due to the heat. There is a small aquatic and reptile walk through exhibit included. Fun day!!

I took my 7 year old here and I gotta say, it was pretty breathtaking. The scenery with the flowers, trees and fountains literally took my breath away. The butterflies were all beautiful in their own way. It was almost magical. Would definitely visit again!

This was a cool experience and def something unique that my family hadnt done before. Everyone that worked there was super friendly and they tried to enforce social distancing guidelines when they could which I appreciated. The walkthrough was kind of short. Although, I was pleasantly surprised that they had an area for fish and reptiles. Dont repeat my mistake and go on a day thats blazing hot. The heat mixed with the humidity in the butterfly outdoor space must be what hell feels like. Regardless of the weather, the tickets are overpriced. I personally wouldnt go back because I feel like theres nothing else to see. Look online for coupons! I found a decent one on Valpak.

I really enjoyed going to Butterfly Wonderland. They had a short 3D film about butterflies which was very informative. After watching the film I went into the area and saw so many butterflies with different patterns and colors. There was even a bee hive, chickens, and koi fish.

Second time I have taken my teenage grand daughter who visited me from California. She requested we go again. This is so relaxing - so many exotic beautiful butterflys to see in this exhibit. On your exiting from the exhibit there is two areas to explore making this all worth your $$

Butterflies... Butterflies everywhere... Also chicken? Loved it! Get a camera and try and snap a few pics and youve got yourself a great day! You might even be lucky enough to to get a butterfly to land on you!

This place is beautiful and will forever be dear to my heart. The staff have made every effort to enforce COVID precautions and to make a beautiful butterfly sanctuary safe for everyone. I will definitely go back :-)

We had a great time here. Definitely fun for all ages. The entire duration of the visit was fairly short lived due to the heat and humidity inside the area with the butterflies. We had a 1yr old with us who had an absolute blast walking around and exploring everything. They have a nice 3D movie they play that is interesting and out son was hooked the whole time which is surprising given the fact he is young and likes to walk around at his leasure. If you are planning to make it a day I would fit the Odysea aquarium into your plans as well after 4pm.

Pretty cool place, they have an entire room where you can walk around and see the butterflies. Just gotta be sure not to touch them. They have an educational short film they show detailing migration. They take your picture when you go in which is nice (available for purchase in their gift shop or you can buy them online later on). They have a handful of exhibits with snakes, spiders, butterflies, fish, and they have a shark pool. Its a family friendly activity. There is AC and in the butterfly room where AC isnt possible, they have misters

I went here with no expectations, my family was just looking to do something out of the house. I was impressed by this place. First off it isnt as big as it looks from the outside however it still kept us entertained. The conservatory is pretty awesome, I have never seen that many butterflies in one spot. There are even some chickens and it was fun to try and find them.

Loved it! So peaceful and beautiful and the live music was an added touch. The video was so informative.

Nice place to see a glimpse of nature and learn about different creatures. There is more than butterflies at this location. Try to find the chicken wandering with the butterflies! There are reptiles and fish from around the world. The cost is a little high, but what attractions in Scottsdale arent? There is a cafe to grab a bite to eat after you spend some time with the butterflies. The only reason its not 5 star is because the price is a little high and there is only one place to use the restroom at the entrance.

If you have curious, excited children - stay away. I spent $50 to be disrespected by the employees working there. Rarely do I ever leave reviews, but felt it was necessary to warn others from wasting their money here. From the time I walked in to the time we left all of the ladies working here were far from kind or understanding of typical child behavior. For safety reasons you cannot run in the butterfly area or touch the butterflies, rightfully so. I understand and supported their rules posted and then rudely enforced by employees, but for a 4 year old that loves bugs and nature he had a hard time containing his excitement. Twice while being there the girl monitoring the door called in other workers to follow me and my kids and provide additional instruction to follow the rules (which I was already instructing my kids to do so). I felt so uncomfortable during our stay. It honestly took me back to jr high days when the cranky hall monitor would scream anytime you showed any joy in your eyes. Heaven forbid we lovingly correct a curious child excited about seeing butterflies. I was planning on buying a pass. Definitely wouldn’t spend another dollar here.

Beautiful and informative. Pleasant and relaxed atmosphere that completely allows you to set the pace.The staff was wonderful !!It was a bonus to view reptiles, insects and fish.High price but when balanced with knowing it promotes conservation of such amazing creatures, it is worth it.

We really enjoyed Butterfly Wonderland and you really need to check this place out if you are in the area. Also, the chickens are cute :)This is located where Odysea is located and there is ample parking and its right off the 101 in Scottsdale. There are places there to get ice cream, food, drinks and adult beverages.I like the educational aspect of this place, the fact that you can interact with the butterflies and its just a nice day out.Definitely check this place out and spend a day here going to the aquarium, learning and interacting with the butterflies, have an ice cream and beer or other food.

This place is so wonderful! A great way to celebrate my birthday! And. As a bonus, my daughter gave me an annual pass!

Very nice visit, felt as on an island. Lush plant life and amazing butterfly collection.

This was a fun place for the kids, a lot of education things for the to take part in. They have a 3d movie that last 14 minutes, that everyone enjoyed. The kids kept trying to touch the butterflies and laughed a lot. Which as a parent I like. The only downside I saw is 2 adults, and 2 small children cost 95 dollars including tax. We tried to kill time and did most things twice. Maybe 2 hours of time killing. I think 50 dollars would have been reasonable. I did see people turn and leave because of cost.

Go early the misters at 90° felt like the 100+ in Monsoons muggy time.Other than the heat we had a great time. We learned so much about the butterflies, honeybees, reptiles, & èven some fish. They do have the outdoor area with all kinds of butterflies, moths, even some finch and 2 chicken. If you stay really still you can even have the chance of seeing one land on you or someone close to you. It is a very special place. I will definately come back.

Wonderful colors with live interaction. Coe fish pond. Kids enjoy chasing the butterfly.

It was our second time coming in and just as amazing as the first time even though our first time it felt like there was a lot more butterflies than today which was a little bit of a downer. But it is honestly worth the hour drive Mustafa super-friendly an amazing at what they do

Just parked in the lot breafly minding my own business thinking about lunch. Im going to go for dinner instead! MAYBE?Nice area, looks like a fun place, l will fill you in more as I discover places withen...I think they have a titanic display of dinosaurs, ships my mind though...See ya

Went here on a field trip with my kiddo. It was fun and super informational. I liked that you could tour on your own. If you like butterflies best, then stick around there for a half hour; if you like reptiles best, then spend more time inside looking at those.There was a fun introductory 3D movie to start which was really cool.It was a great way to spend a hot AZ morning!

What an AWESOME place to relax for an hour. This HUGE ATRIUMhouses countless species ofButterflies. They are everywhere!WATCH WHERE YOURE WALKING,SO YOU DONT STEP ON ONE, ANDCLOSELY MIND YOUR KIDS!!Natures precious creatures dont need to be subjected to ADHD!!This place should embody CALMand TRANQUILITY! Numerous benches provide places to sit and watch these EXQUISITE creatures.My visit to this WONDERLANDtruly brightened my day!!

We went through the whole thing in an hour and a half there wasnt that many butterflies but I think its because of the season we also saw the reptiles and the aquariums and the gift shop I think that for the money its a little expensive for the little time that you spend in their butt if you have family and theyre coming out of town I think its a great thing because its something to do and my clients had a good time there

Very relaxing and interesting place. Enjoyed taking the kids here.

What an experience! Such a relaxing environment with all the different butterflies.I enjoyed the 3D movie at the beginning which was entertaining and educational.It was a fun day where we spent a few hours. Would highly recommend for all visitors and natives. Just a nice overall day.

We enjoyed are time here very much. Definitely will return again to enjoy the peaceful relaxing music while viewing all they have to offer.

This place is so beautiful a wonderland. I just wish the exhibits for the reptiles enclosure was much bigger and the had more space to run round. It is their home. There is so much that be utilized in the facility that can accommodate the reptiles better. Floor to ceiling can be used. More space for turtles to swim. The animals look heathly and the bees and butterflies are beautiful. Just need more space in my opinion. I would recommend a visit.

Beautiful place, for kids and adults who like nature, specifically butterflies obviously, I enjoyed the time that I spend in here...

Absolutely fantastic! Take your time to walk through multiple times. The butterflies obviously move around a lot, if you just walk through quick one time you wont see much. They have an amazing number of stunning butterflies and moths. Bonus, check out the vending machine in the insect room.

Lovely garden with knowledgeable assistants made a very fun experience for our family outing. It is very humid, so if heat is a problem for family members or when wearing masks try earlier in the morning. The area also included a koi pond and rainforest reptiles and birds that are beautiful

Definitely worth the trip, price and time.Had a group of 6 adults and 2 kids (2&4) , enjoyable for all ages and equal opportunities for everyone to enjoy something. The inside exhibits are perfect height for little ones to look into and enjoy.! Spent about 2 hours here. We got there as they opened which seem to be perfect timing as by 11am there was a larger crowd. We were able to comfortably walk around and enjoy without being rushed or over crowded.Beautiful exhibits, & the 3-D movie was the perfect way to start the trip.Staff was friendlyPlace was clean.Recommended!

Such a wonderful place. I was able to buy the tickets online so that saved us the time at the window. The movie they make everyone watch was truly amazing - I am glad I saw it. The staff is helpful and the grounds are beautiful. Loved all the glass artworks. Of course the butterflies are the star attraction. Such a great variety of plants and flowers.

This place was absolutely AMAZING. they are super informative with everything and I learned soo much about butterflies and how some barely survive due to crops and their abilities to maintain survival. this was a truly remarkable experience.

Ive lived here in Arizona off and on for 20 years, and have never been here. I guess you could say I pick and choose, and I really didnt want to come here today, but my sister insisted. I can honestly say, I liked it. You actually get to walk into the exhibit, watch where you walk, dont step on no butterflies. One might land on your head, but thats ok, they just giving you butterfly kisses. From start to finish, it takes about an hour.

Fun for families! Educational staff and beautiful butterflies! Reptile exhibit, cocoons and even a bug snack machine! (Yes, bug candy and cricket chips etc)

This place was magical, we had an amazing time making memories!! Well be returning in the future for sure!! Totally worth the drive.

This is just a nice relaxing place. I take my wife here for dates and also my 72 yr old Mom (wgo is wheelchair bound). It is a little expensive, so membership is your best bet because it includes OdySea too.You can easily spend 2-3 hours here. I recommend watching the short film, it is really nice. The atrium is relaxing, but be advised, if it is hot outside, it is hot in the atrium too. The temps are about 10 degrees cooler than outside. The butterflies are most active between 9am and 3pm, so if you come late, you wont see as much. Also, the bees are really cool to watch, I missed them on the first 2 visits.Other than the butterflies there is a really neat reptile exhibit. In addition, there is a great acquarium area with lots of fish to look at. The bug vending machine is a neat touch too. The gift shop gas some really neat clothing as well.

Butterfly Wonderland is a hit place among kids even elders will enjoy it. Well maintained, clean, safe, huge parking lots, complementary face tattoo on entrance. The prices are reasonable. First time visit is a memorable one. They show a 3D movie at the entrance. They have small amphitheatre for 100 capacity. Along with butterfly you will also get to see reptile section and small aquarium. Humidity is high here. I recommend this place for kids and tourists. They have photo booth at the entrance. The goodie shop is nice. Face painting is available. You can buy bundle at the entrance or online as they have more than one attraction.

So many amazing butterflies and other wonderous animals. Seeing rare creatures and learning about the life cycle of butterflys is such a fun and enjoyable experience.They say that if you visit and 5 butterflys land on you, you will have good luck!

A lil bit pricey. But kids enjoyed the experience

Absolutely wonderful it was a great Labor day weekend treat!! If you want to see beautiful butterflies up close head here!

Last week or so was my first time there since I have been living here about 5 years amazing butterfly & flowers like this one

Magical. Educational. Beautiful. Peaceful. Have your phone well charged! You will be taking pictures and video nonstop!I cant wait to go again!

Interesting place, wonderful info about butterflies. The conservatory was the best part! Getting to walk around with all the butterflies flying around you is kinda magical. The reptile portion of the place was also neat, with lots of great info.

This place is truly a wonderland with beautiful butterflies that carelessly flit and flutter all about you! The foliage is amazing, and the koi pond is just mesmerizing. Definitely worth the trip to go and behold.

Really great exhibits for grade school aged children. Nice escape from Arizona heat. Not too big where kids will get board quickly. A bit expensive but can reduce cost with Costco gift card. Highly recommend for families looking for something to do in the area.

This was such a great place to visit and see all the butterflies. So peaceful and therapeutic. Love it!

Great place to visit. The employees were very friendly and helpful. If you want to go to the bathroom and see sharks along with a few others go over to the bathroom after they take your tickets. Enjoyed all the butterflies and since the covid is going on there was zero wait.

So this was pretty cool. One of the largest butterfly exhibits Ive ever seen. They have a huge room that is very like the Amazon rain forest humidity and all. If youre ever in the area, you should stop and see.

It was SO fun and beautiful! But there arent as many butterflies as there used to be... something should be done about this.

Pricey but fun. Aside from the large butterfly enclosure they also have a movie about the Monarchs when you hey started. The nearby outdoor area by the aquarium also has several restaurants so its easy to make an afternoon out of it.

As always, the Butterfly Wonderland was very Serene and there were very people. We went in mid-morning and we were there for four hours and it was very comfortable.

What a beautiful place, theres more than just butterflies to see as well.Informative and fun

Fairytale worthy. One of my favorite places in the world. Hope to take the kids someday. Made our trip!

Driven by for 5 years and decided to go when driving by with my sweetheart. Such an amazing experience!!

Very cool place. Recommend wearing bright colors, or maybe even a hat, as the butterflies really seem to be attracted to the bright colors. So if you want them to land on you, wear something bright. It is a bit pricey considering it is not all the big, but it is an Excellent experience.

AMAZING! The whole experience was very engaging. I had doubts about going because it was just my husband and I, but it was so mesmerizing. The butterflies, birds, and moths were very active. I would recommend asking the specialists questions. Vicki was very insightful and made the experience more intellectually engaging. We spent about 2.5 hours there in total (video=15 min, chrysalis exhibit= 20 min, butterfly=1 hr, bees= 10, reptiles/insect/fish= 40 min). We went on a weekday that wasnt on a holiday, so crowds were very light.

The butterfly portion was a little bit smaller than I expected [Id never been to one before and apparently this one is actually quite large], but was really beautiful and there was a lot of information available. We combined our tickets with a couple of other attractions in the area, and Id definitely recommend that route to get the most bang for your buck, and spend a little more time there.

Beautiful conservatory with lots of different butterfly breeds. Educational exhibits, including one showing the different looks of butterfly development between breeds.

3D movie prior to s was pretty cool, but really hoped for a lot more butterflies, like s more. Didnt seem like much.

The garden itself is the main attraction. There are around 2000 butterflies at any given time flying around. Very pretty display and well tended garden. If youre patient and still enough a butterfly might even land on you.I give it four stars and not five because theres not a lot to the exhibit. Theres a nice 15 minute 3D movie you can watch prior to the garden. And a small restaurant and gift shop after and that pretty much it. Theres a couple very small exhibits that branch out from it that have nothing to do with butterflies.Its all worth seeing at least once - more than once if you really like butterflies. But aside from that it can potentially be a short visit for the money. This place is more a case of you get out of it how much you put into it. Or rather, how much time you linger and enjoy it because it can go by fast.

Such a beautiful place. Cant wait to go back.

Both the movie and the live butterflies were so beautiful. they inspired our family to make a landing spot for them, on their way to Mexico

I absolutely loved everything about my visit. Kind and knowledgeable staff. Absolutely stunning butterflies.

Coolest experience ever... I felt like a child on vacation but that’s totally okay with me.. I would go back every time I’m in town.It’s definitely overpriced but worth it to experience it at least once!The 3D film is a little weird for the general public.. reminded me of being on a school field trip but nonetheless it was knowledgeable.It was way too overcrowded in each room you have to through to get to the next part of the exhibit which is unfortunate. The staff are also kind of rude and seemed to all be in bad moods or just aren’t the right people to deal with large crowds or the amount of people that come and go throughout the day.Best part that makes this review deserve four stars: the butterflies of course! How spectacular to be in a sanctuary surrounded by hundreds of them flying around and landing on you. So neat to see all the different species and colours. Also included in this wonderland is a separate room/exhibit of lizards, a few fish and other creepy crawlers.

Enjoyed the 3D video to start the process before entering the butterfly enclosure. There was a young man who was very informative on the butterflies and letting us know why you should not touch them. I liked the fact that they had pages of the book the very hungry caterpillar by Eric Carl through out the enclosure. They also had fish, reptiles, insects and some insects Id never seen before. Price was $45 for 2 seniors. We liked it and were able to get great pictures.

Expensive but worth a trip for the kids. Be prepared that it is hot and muggy. The photos and fun make up for it all. Wonderful place!!

Absolutely beautiful! So many different species of butterflies throughout the auditorium. The butterflies are so use to people they just land on you & hang out while you stroll through the exhibit.It is extremely humid, dont waste your time doing your hair!

The conservatory itself is beautiful, and the butterflies are gorgeous. The only real problem I wouldnt call a problem exactly. I expected the conservatory to be bigger, it is kind of small, but honestly its a wonderful place. They introduce you to monarch butterflies in the beginning via a 3D movie thats truly touching, and they have other exhibits, like the reptile exhibit. Its honestly worth going if you dont mind feeling a bit humid in the conservatory. Definitely dress casual and light.*Editing review because I truly loved it. Thought liked it was not giving this place its due.

Thus place is beyond beautiful. My son had such an amazing experience here. He learned so much about butterfly evolution. He was just so amazed by the variety of butterflies they have. Everyone was so nice as well. Favorite part, the 3d video its so cool.

Pretty neat sanctuary where the butterflies feel comfortable around the visitors.

Very enjoyable experience! My 5 year old daughter loved it.

Worth the money, I preferred this over Odysea Aquarium. We went with our 2 boys 9 and 13 and they loved it too. Highly recommend!

Overall a fun learning and peaceful experience for all to enjoy .

Had an awesome time! Came on a Sunday afternoon, and there wasn’t that many people. Which was a super bonus. A little pricey as far as admission and food go. But definitely glad we came! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The exhibit is a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. And pretty humid so I’m glad I wore a tank top. This is something that I’ve always wanted to do and I would come back again and again!

We took our toddler here and we had a great time! It was a great experience for her to be able to encounter the various butterflies, snakes, fish, etc.

Nice relaxing place..A bit too pricey

Smaller than I was expecting but it was a nice experience. Staff were very friendly. There were a lot of beautiful butterflies to be seen and other small exhibits aside from the conservatory.

I loved this place and what a great opportunity to show kids these beautiful butterflies and give them an opportunity to see the beauty of nature. It wont take you more than 30 - 40 mins. The entry fee is expensive but definitely worth it. We enjoyed the 3D movie as well

I Been there before with my FAMILYAND GILBERT COMMUNITY CENTER ,IT IS A LOT OF FUN

Loved it. Learned a lot and enjoyed seeing so many different species. Great place for all ages. Little tip: I heard theyre most active in the morning. Try to plan your visit then. We went in the late afternoon and many were getting ready for bed lol (less active) but still fascinating to see!

True to their word, this place has a literal ton of butterflies. Pretty neat to check out!

The place to go in the Phoenix area to see live tropical butterflies. Butterflies of all shapes and hues fly around you. Be ready with your cameras, some may even land on you and present a perfect photo-op. The building complex houses other exhibits too, so a good way to spend a day, especially if you have kids.

The place is nice for a special occasion, maybe some good pictures. The prices are, well, pricey, and nothing is too special. Beware, the food court is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE, and despite the regulations, its better to bring your own food.

Loved this beautiful haven for butterflies and nature. So thankful to our AZ family taking us here to enjoy with them and grandkids. Happy we could all interact with nature and the butterflies. Super awesome memories made here! Kudos to Staff! They were super helpful and enthusiastic about showing and teaching us about their living habitats and exhibits. They have a movie theater and snack area, and beautiful items for sale in their gift shop. Thank you for this amazing Butterfly Wonderland!!

A place of pure joy and enchantment. Beautiful, simply beautiful. You learn a lot about butterfly and get to be in their environment too.

My whole family loved this place. It is very relaxing. Do try the edible bugs from the vending machine, won’t you?

Great place to go and see some butterflies. If you spend enough time in the room, some of them even land on you. A very fun experience and a great place to bring your kids and family. The workers are all very nice and informative as well.

This place is really beautiful, a great place to take pictures. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. If you are an adult without kids though, you may feel overwhelmed by the number of children.

Love the butterflies! The reptile exhibit is amazing also. The butterfly exhibit is humid, but its understandable why! I love the cocoon exhibit! Fun for the whole family.

A beautiful exhibit that you must take your time to take it all in. Every corner hid new sights to see full of butterflies, frogs and the wondering chickens. This place is a must for anyone looking to take some great photos. It is well worth your time to stop by the Butterfly Wonderland and get lost for a while in this fairy-tale esc conservatory.

Very clean and well maintained. A very fun time with a whole lot to look at from butterflies to fish and sharks to insects and reptiles. A very fun time for a reasonable price.

Very educational and fun for the whole family! Definitely plan on going back and would recommend anyone who appreciates nature to go! Plus they have a little bit more than just butterflies!

Magical peaceful place I could have stayed all day. Wife woke up cranky until she arrived

Had a wonderful date night with hubby painting butterflies

Many different butterflies and moths to look at and able to sit and enjoy them.
