Insider tips

Wear light layers, as the tropical butterfly house is significantly warmer and more humid than the rest of the facility.

Visit the feeding sessions if available, as they provide the best opportunity to see more elusive animals active.

Bring comfortable walking shoes suitable for both indoor pathways and outdoor terrain.

What to avoid

Avoid rushing through the butterfly house immediately; standing still increases the likelihood of butterflies landing on you.

Good to know

Open daily throughout the year; occasionally closed on select dates during the winter period for maintenance.

Etiquette

Do not touch the butterflies or attempt to pick them up, as their wings are highly fragile; refrain from feeding animals outside of supervised sessions.
