Butterflies and more

Sally_D, Oct 2025

Great time seeing butterflies, turtles, birds & insects! Wear light weight clothes…..it’s hot & humid inside….of course as the butterflies & others need it.

Lovely experience. I love...

Fun!

Caroline_J, Sep 2025

Several animal species in addition to the butterflies and the butterflies were well displayed, roaming free and part of an educational window as well. Lots of good photo opportunities.

A piece of paradise

This place was recommended by some locals whom we met in Vancouver Canada, and it does not disappoint. We caught the number 75 bus from the hotel and it’s great.

Yes, Go!

Kelly_O, Jul 2025

It was great. It’s not a big facility but really fun. So many butterflies, birds, koi and plants. I’d go again!

Fun Garden for All Ages!

Madeline_F, Jun 2025

Went this last weekend with my partner and some friends. We were in town for just a day from Washington state. The butterfly garden was beautiful, and we loved looking at all the insects as well. Beautifully maintained! Heads up, they keep the garden itself warm for the butterflies so don't go inside with a jacket on! You'll be sweating!

Butterflies everywhere!

Susan_C, May 2025

It was very informative and fun. It was a nice experience and the staff was kind. They had a place to hang your jackets because it was warm and humid inside.

Butterfly afternoon

Shawna_B, Mar 2025

This was a fun experience. Was with the price. My only suggestion would be to sell the cups of nectar like other ones done e can have them land in us for a move closer and up personal experience. Maybe only offer to adults if worried about children.

Humid and pretty

Caylee_R, Aug 2024

We enjoyed the butterfly garden on our way into Butchart gardens. The fish and turtles were a pleasant surprise.

Enchanted garden

Debby_Y, Jul 2024

Beautiful and clean, good air and peaceful animals. Lovely koi fish and stream. All animals are healthy and thriving.

Small but unique stop along with Butchart Gardens

Jeffrey_F, Jun 2024

This was my first time in a garden like this where the butterflies are flying around you in an unrestricted environment. The conservatory does feel warm and humid reflecting the tropical climate. There are macaws, a flamingo, turtles, and insect displays so it’s not only butterflies. Highly recommend especially as a side stop to or from Butchart Gardens!

A garden for the family

Camille_T, May 2024

Fun space for little ones of all ages! Our kids (1.5 and 5.5) loved exploring it as much as did and roamed for well over an hour in the space. Do come in t-shirts because the space is very hot and humid.

Crap App

Robin_D, May 2024

It was garbage, you didn’t give times for getting in and we were on a cruise ship that was going in at later times. When our group tried to communicate and cancel within your timeframe we were met with chaos and misinformation and wound up completely missing the event. But you kept the money. Crap App.

Hightly recommended

Roksolana_K, May 2024

We enjoyed every minute that we spent in Butterfly Gardens. Such a nice place with positive vibes and beautiful nature creations.

Amazing experience

Alisha_K, May 2024

Amazing and peaceful. I felt relaxed and made me feel as though I was in the rainforest. 100% recommend.

Good place to visit if you have kids or love butterflies

Josh_H, Apr 2024

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.
