Reviews
"What a fantastic little place. Beautiful butterflies living among some beautiful tropical plants. Absolute joy to see them and watch them flying around and eating. Book your ticket at the main museum desk or if not too busy they sell tickets directly at the butterfly house."
"Beautiful selection of a variety of butterflies and tropical plant life in a small orangery/greenhouse type building. It is very humid and hot in the enclosure, incase people didn't know, and they have a no pushchair policy. Had a lovely time getting my little girl to point out how many different butterflies she could find."
"It's so small for the cost of 1 adult and child. We were in there for less than 10 mins. It's ridiculously hot and way too humid. Where in the world do these butterflies come from that it needs such humidity? I was born in Trinidad and Tobago and we have loads of butterflies, some of which I saw in there and it's no where near as humid. There was also hardly any butterflies and not a wide variety either. Very disappointed."
"Just fantastic! Friendly staff beautiful butterflies and an amazing place to make memories! Please visit and see for yourself."
