We loved our visit! We had our son, his 5 year old daughter and us. Free coat check room - much appreciated! The area where the butterflies, birds and plants are is very warm and humid - noted on the website so we were prepared and we all wore short sleeves tops. The number, variety and beauty of the butterflies was more than we expected. Our granddaughter was a bit intimated by the butterflies flying so close to her at first but she calmed down. Two butterflies landed on my lap while sitting on a bench and drank water from our fingers. She loved it! The two insect rooms were very informative as well. She also enjoyed the colouring table. The gift shop offers a variety of items and prices seemed reasonable. I recommend buying a butterfly guide for $1.99 if you want to know the names of the butterflies that you see. So happy that we made the trip from Mississauga!
It is about an hour’s drive from London and has a compact building size, making it easy and comfortable for children to explore. Admission is free for children under the age of two. A typical visit takes about one to two hours. There is also an open emergence area where visitors can see butterflies hatching from their chrysalises, which is especially enjoyable for children who love insects.
A wonderful place for a short afternoon. The staff are so great and, though small, it's a really beautiful spot! It can get busy at peak times but even when it's busy it's a fun time going through to look at everything. Lots of areas for people who don't want to be surrounded by butterflies too! Plus a really cute gift shop.
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Butterfly Conservatory. It was quite easy to tour around the facility. The building is very accessible for people who might require wheelchairs too. The variety of butterflies and birds is quite astounding. I really enjoyed seeing the Nicobar pigeons. I’d recommend the butterfly conservatory for people who might be on a date, also if you’re single it’s a lovely place to visit too.
First off, the reservations — you have to book a time slot online and pay for tickets ahead of your visit. They clearly state they may turn away walk-ins if it’s busy. Understandable, since the butterfly area is small, and they don’t want to overcrowd it. On the plus side, parking is free and there’s plenty of it. Inside, there’s a small cafeteria and even a little playground for kids. The entrance leads to a small welcome area, and then you pass through double doors into the butterfly conservatory. The space is kept warm and humid for the butterflies — which feels nice on a cold winter day, but on a sunny day I was sweating buckets. There are lots of butterflies, and if you’re lucky one might even land on you. Now the downsides: the arena is very small. You can easily see the whole thing in under 15 minutes. For the size, the ticket prices feel steep. They don’t allow outside food, which is tough considering many visitors are families with kids, and there’s no designated area to sit and eat your own snacks anyway. If you’re a larger family with kids over 2, expect to spend quite a bit between tickets and the cafeteria. Overall, it’s worth visiting once for the experience, but don’t stress if you skip it — you’re not missing a full-day adventure.
