Tropical Butterfly House 200 2nd Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109

The Tropical Butterfly House, located at 200 2nd Avenue North in Seattle, Washington, is a mesmerizing tourist attraction where you can experience the beauty of hundreds of breathtaking butterflies in their tropical habitat. With our butterfly and plant identification guides, you can practice your powers of observation while exploring the vibrant colors, textures, and smells of the plants that feed and provide resting spots for these delicate creatures.

All of our butterflies come from sustainable farms around the world, where they are raised in their chrysalis stage before being sent to us. We are committed to working with farmers who focus on native butterfly conservation and sustainable farming practices, ensuring that the butterflies are never taken from the wild for our exhibit.

Generous support for the Tropical Butterfly House is provided by The Pendleton & Elisabeth Carey Miller Charitable Foundation, as well as by numerous individuals, companies, and foundations who donate to Pacific Science Center. We invite you to learn more about how you can support our mission of promoting inclusion, diversity, equity, and access in everything we do.
