What makes it 90% Kids-Friendly: Children can feed butterflies, watch hatching at the emergence window, join science demos, and move safely on wide paths; washrooms with change tables help parents, making the visit highly kid-friendly.
Why 1-2 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: A visit lasting around 1 to 2 hours lets families explore feeding stations, emergence windows, and winding paths without rushing kids.
Butterfly Feeding:
Use sugar-water trays to attract butterflies onto your hands.
Tip: Bring kids close to feeding stations and hold still to let butterflies land.
Emergence Window:
Watch butterflies hatch and harden their wings up close.
Tip: Arrive early to see multiple hatches and avoid later crowds.
Tropical Garden Walk:
Stroll winding paths under lush plants and near waterfalls.
Tip: Keep an eye on trail signs showing plant and butterfly facts to engage kids.

Cool small dome filled with many butterflies and tropical plants. I was impressed by the number of butterflies, but expected a little more variety of types. 20-30 minutes is plenty to see everything. Kind of expensive at over $20 for an adult and $8 parking in the lot. I would say it's worth stop if it's part of an included package...probably dont need to go out of your way to see just that unles...

October 2025 review. I love butterflies. I been to Key West (Florida) butterfly conservatory as well, I find Niagara is probably bigger, has more variety of plants, trees and number of butterflies.

Regardless how beautiful it all is - I sti...

We wanted a kid and baby-friendly activity for our mini getaway and am so glad we opted for this.

We spent less than an hour here (thank you previous Google reviewers about the paid parking tip and only needing an hour!) yet it felt much longer. Adults, kid and baby were so enchante...

I’d give 20 stars if I could! Everything was spotless and well maintained. The $20 entry fee was totally worth it. The moment you step inside, you can feel the amazing energy — butterflies are flying all around you, and the view is absolutely beautiful. If you love butterflies, this place is a must-visit! The staff was super friendly, and don’t miss the free rose garden outside.
From spring through May 11, check the Swamp Creatures exhibit featuring snakes and wetland animals. In winter, the indoor tropical climate offers a warm, humid escape for kids.
