It was great to go in and see all these lovely, exotic butterflies everywhere and occasionally if you're lucky, one might land on you lol You also get to see meerkats and some interesting reptiles. Children will enjoy it and so will adults. If you suffer from any breathing difficulties, make sure you have your pump with you. It is... More

A great place to visit with children, plenty to see which children will find fascinating. Worth the entrance fee just to see the Meerkats.

Griping fear was my only companion during my visit to Butterfly World, were eagle size insects seems to inhabit every inch.... More

Visited this place several years ago and had always intended to go again. I was not disappointed and neither was my 77 year old mother. Spoke to the woman who owns it, she was lovely and helpful, said we could go out and come back in with our tickets. We did this as it obviously can get very hot, being... More

We had our 6 year old nephew staying over and so a trip to Butterfly world was on the agenda. He absolutely loved it and actually I'm not sure whether he or my husband enjoyed it more. There was a great variety of butterflies, reptiles, koi carp and meerkats to keep us entertained and the nephew had a field day... More
