Purdy Butterfly House

"Love these gardens! Such a nice place to retreat to for an afternoon! They have old fashioned swings too!!"

"The butterfly house was peaceful but hot. They have a lovely area for children to play. Many seats and swings dotted about for watching birds."

"We enjoyed the butterfly garden as well as the botanical garden. The butterflies are plentiful and there is even a little bee home to view! The hose attached to the outside allows them into a windowed wooden box where you can see them working and chewing. Their little faces are very cute surprisingly!"

"This feature at the Huntsville Botanical Gardens is a must see from the first of May till the first frost. Not only is it a peaceful refuge from the rest of the world, but the huge swarms of butterflies and moths are a joy to behold. Throughout the year, the gardens staff tend to thousands of flowers and plants that feed and nurture the many species of insects. This is always worth a visit."

"Very peaceful but your best bet is to come during the warmer seasons if you are wishing to see the butterflies. They, and other animals inside the house, are either sparse or not seen at all. You do still have nice things to see inside such as the plants and structures. The babbling water is very soothing listen to while you take in the sights."
