Wonderful Butterfly Garden

Jan. 2021 • Solo

I just visited the garden and it was really nice. Quite small but worth the visit. The butterfly enclose is beautiful with lovely flowers, plants and pond. So many different kinds of butterflies that you don’t often see in other places.
There us also a great walk down to the river through a rainforest which was wonderful. Such beautiful scenery and so peaceful.
I would visit again and recommend it highly!

Hummingbirds

May 2019

Stopped at the buttlerfly garden and was surprised to find both the viper (ugh that was eerie) house and the hummingbird flight zone. Watch out they buzz right past you to their feeding areas. It was amazing!

A little hard to find, but worthy of the adventure

Nov. 2019

This small garden hosts many beautiful plants and butterflies. It is in a challenging location, but once there, it was very pleasant and restful. It is in the same general area as the Zoological Park, across the same canyon, but you have to travel all the way around on a bridge in order to find it.

Small but awesome

Dec. 2019 • Family

Great place off the beaten path but worth the trip. Takes about an hour or you can spend all day if you want to relax.

tiny magical spot

Aug. 2019

I thought this place was awesome! if you lover butterflies I would definitely check it out. They have so many kinds and give you a sheet if you need help identifying them. They also have a little trail you can do if you have the time. I only had about 45 minutes to spend here but would have stayed for another 30 if I could have. A very cute place that is definitely good for nature lovers!

Beautiful gem in the city

Aug. 2019 • Family

We walked about 2 miles from our downtown hotel- nice safe walk. Pretty small but spent along time enjoying the butterflies. Also enjoyed the nature trail to the river.

A range of beautiful butterflies

Aug. 2019 • Couples

We had a great hour here being entertained by the energetic butterflies. Well kept garden leading out and down to the river allows you to enjoy a moment of peace in the busy city centre.
