Pretty butterfly's

Lovely place, a lot smaller than expected so didn't take long to walk through it. Been to a few of these before and this was just as nice.

A lovely visit worth the trip to get there

Though the Butterfly Garden is a ways out of Victoria city, it’s well worth a visit. The jungle area is enchanting with butterflies flitting around and many animals and plants to see. Magical.

Good place to visit if you have kids or love butterflies

A neat little place to visit if you've got kids or are really into butterflies. There are a few parrots and some little finches (or maybe sparrows?) also, as well as a flamingo, turtles, lots of koi, and a big iguana. Facilities were clean. Overall it was very relaxing and good use of time.
