Great place to see butterflies without leaving the big city. Suggest taking taxi or Uber as the entrance is tucked away a bit & might be tough to spot if you’re not a local. Not expensive & it’s a sanctuary where they raise and cultivate the butterflies with care, so worth the $$$.

Well worth a visit during a day in central San Jose, even though it's a 20 minute walk away. Fairly cheap entrance fee. Information is given on the life cycle of butterflies and on the species that they have, If you are also going to be walking in the nature of Costa Rica during your holiday, expect to see the same butterflies many times over in the wild.

Small but well maintained butterfly park with beautiful plants. Don’t miss the Contemplation Path which goes all the way down to the river. Even in the rainy season it was not too slippery.

My husband, 9yo and I visited and had a good time. We saw lots of butterflies, it was reasonably priced, and the staff was great. I saw a clear winged butterfly, which I was hoping to see. I definitely recommend you visit.

Nice small eco environment friendly place in the middle of the city. Great friendly staff. Not a large asso4tment of butterflies, but still unique. Be sure to take the path that leaves to the river! Very cool foliage and nice scenery

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!

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!

It's an oasis in the middle of busy San Jose with a great collection of butterflies. Worth a visit for sure!
