Reviews of Butterfly Conservatory (Gardener)

Lesley Riedstra

Just love going here, it had been a long while and I think this was the first time we actually got to see so many different stages of the development, including one flying out of the incubator area! So many beautiful colours, and kids love watching them landing on people.

Burk Schmidt

Definitely a fun place to visit, especially with young kids. It’s a little pricey, especially if you include the cost of parking. We got reduced ticket prices via our CAA membership and have an annual parking pass for Niagara Parks, so it was reasonable.

Very beautiful! My mom absolutely loooved it. Butterflies come & sit on you & it is just a breathtaking experience. If you’re in Niagara Falls, make sure to pay a visit because it is definitely worth it. Make sure to wear bright colours as the butterflies will be attracted to you. There is no time limit so you will have ample time to enjoy your experience. They also have seats for when you get tired which is awesome cuz its a huge place! It was $17 per person so it was totally worth it!

Came here because admission is included in the Niagara falls' Wonder Pass. We went in with very low expectation but came out pleasantly surprised. The conservatory is filled with many different kinds of butterflies, and although it didn't take more than 20 minutes to walk through the whole thing, but it's worthwhile if you don't have to pay for the admission separately.

A very well maintained conservatory. Both kids and adults can equally enjoy watching a great collection of butterflies. You need around 45mts - 1hr to spend there.

Beautiful butterflies and maintained in a great way. It brings a smile on every face as you can see hundreds of them flying all over the place.

Varunen Sreekantha

A smaller area than you would expect and definitely not worth the inflated ticket prices but you can certainly still enjoy the stroll through. Tons of butterflies and very well maintained. Staff are very friendly as well.

It was magical! We all loved it especially my son :) Giving them 4 stars only because as soon as you enter the actual place where you mingle with the amazing butterflies, nobody's monitoring visitors if they're following covid protocols. The facility is so strict during the line up but as soon as you're ready to enter everyone is just doing their own thing, saw 2 kids not wearing their masks, little to no social distancing... it was just a little bit messy. Hopefully this improves. Other than that, we enjoyed our visit.

Seema Bondade

Must visit! It's a beautiful experience for adults and kids alike! Highly recommend.

Vlas Ok

A very worthy place to visit. Exceeded my expectations. For children, there is a complete delight in communicating with butterflies, there are a lot of them both in size and color. It is interesting to watch their feeding. An excellent breeding area has been created. .with a discount ticket great price

Hayley

It was about $40 for me and my boyfriend but honestly it was totally worth it. It takes about 20 minutes to walk through if you stop and take pictures/look at the landed butterflies. The hatching butterflies were so beautiful. There was a gardener who was working and he was doing his best to trim any plants that weren't needed and pick up whatever hurt/dead butterflies he could. Its not as hot as everyone complains about and the butterflies are super photogenic!

Diana Moore

What a beautiful environment, as soon as l walked in l had a sense of calm. I found the enclosure a bit small, we walked around twice. If you happen to be in Niagara falls l would recommend you visit the Butterfly ???? Conservatory.

Located in the botanical gardens grounds. This place is a beautiful testament to why nature is important to protect within another shining example of beauty worth preserving. If you are even slightly interested in butterflies and flowers/plants, you can easily spend several hours here. We were in and out in about 45 minutes but would have liked to spend more time there.

Lynn Nowen

So beautiful, magical & peaceful. Unfortunately I didn't think about the heat, humidity & wearing a mask! Apparently butterflies liked my top! They were landing all over me. It was pretty cool.

Matthew Shutt

Such a beautiful place to visit! What an incredible collection of butterflies and plants! There are so many some of them might even land on your head! Would 100% do this again!

Samantha Lamb

We were very lucky when we went. The staff mentioned that the butterflies were extremely active on that day. It was magical, everywhere you look, there are butterflies or moths fluttering about. If you're lucky (and we were ♡) some will gently land on you.

Shellyelley

The butterflies are so beautiful ! I tried so hard to get one to land on my hand and eventually landed on my shoulder ! ...they flutter all over the place ..different colors and sizes ..this is a great experience for all..young and old ...the grounds of the gardens are also beautiful and well manicured ! It was a lovely experience

Rumana Afroz Sultana

It was awesome! I can spend all day watching them. Exceed my expectations. It was a great experience. There were so many butterflies that will come and sit to your hands. Really enjoyed! Only thing I want to say to visitors that people need to watch out while walking. I found some people walking and not watching. Some butterflies lying on the floor and people stepped over them without knowing. It broke my heart. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN WALKING. Highly recommended.

RJ Bowlen

An exquisite place of beautiful creatures. With informative displays and a wonderful gift shoppe. While in the Conservatoru watch your step as the ???? can be anywhere including the floor some are well camouflaged when their wings are closed making it very easy to step on them by mistake.

Niousha Ghorbani

There was a very nice and beautiful place ???? There places to seat outside and inside???? Also there were washroom too. The entrance fee was $17 and we paid that happily. I have seen many places like this but it feel good differently ???? If you are in Niagara falls, you should go and visit this awesome conservatory ????

Juan Morales

Great place! Feels like real life animal crossing. Butterflies aren't too shy and some will land on you if you move slowly and have lots of patience. Careful with them though, and definitely watch your step as some fly low or lounge on the floor.

rick Parent

We enjoyed the butterfly conservatory, so many butterfly species along with their cocoons (pupa stage), there was a bit of a problem paying for our parking pass and Understandably it was very humid inside but worth it

Isabel Dubasz

Had a Great time. One of the destination activities my husband and I visited here during our honeymoon, as newlyweds of course. The butterflies are absolutely beautiful. I was at a butterfly conservatory many years ago, as a young girl, and got to have a butterfly on my hand. Unfortunately...the butterflies weren't as desiring to approach Me...BUT one did land on my husband's head, and another on another man's back. Proceed with caution as you're walking on the stones, as some butterflies like to land there also.

Sukhinder Khepar

It was a nice little visit. The parks that surround are large. Nice spot for a walk. The butterflies were very cool. I would go back in a few years.

We visited in August 2012. Very cool place; it was like stepping into an enclosed tropical jungle right in Niagara Falls. (Be prepared for some humidity!) Many cool butterflies and natural growth to be seen. Worth a visit.

Brianne Saed

The most magical experience I've ever had by far. So Peaceful and absolutely worth the money. You can walk around and sit down as many times as you like. And even pick up the butterflies. No wait time at all! Loved this place.

D I

We had a great experience at the conservatory. The place was clean and fulfilled all social distancing protocols. You enter into a tropical world of beautiful, colorful butterflies and plants. It was absolutely magical. A must for all, especially kids.

Lakhwinder Singh

I liked this place very much. so many beautiful butterflies.. absolutely stunning and amazing experience I had here. and butterflies they literally stay for you to click photos as if they know????

Indira Chavez

Beautiful and well maintained oasis for lots of butterflies. I've never seen so many of them in the same place! There is something similar and bigger in Xcaret but its for birds too. I definitely recommend this place.

Tashfin Awal

A more lowkey attraction at Niagara, I would honestly say this is one of my most favourite things to see here. There are so many beautiful butterflies and they fly so close to you. Truly breathtaking 45 minute experience.

Faz I

Love this place. Its a family-friendly, kids-loving, mist relaxing, picture-perfect place to enjoy. 100's of butterflies freely fly around the closed in area, where people can walk through one way to see thr bytterflies flutter around. Must visit and defenetly recomended to families with kids.

Da Ria

It’s beautiful little heaven with butterflies. Highly recommend.

Julia Khvatova

Beautiful place to visit. Butterflies are flying all around you, and it makes you feel like you’re in a fairytale. Sometimes they land on you and it’s totally amazing! Lots of people complained in the reviews that it’s humid - and yes, it’s humid there, but the climate is definitely made for butterflies to live there, so I was no complaining, but respected the environment. There were some kids who tried to catch the butterflies, and their parents even didn’t say them anything. So, if you have small kids who misbehave, you better avoid visiting this place, don’t stress the butterflies, respect the nature.

TheKodester

Plan to drive or taxi cost! The buses don’t run that often. But it is completely worth it. Truly a unique experience waking amongst the butterflies reminded me a special scene in Skyrim.

Tania Ahmed

A tropical paradise and magical. Its lovely seeing all the butterflies flying around. A lot of different species of plants and butterflies. The place has an indoor waterfall with fish and a solitary turtle.

Mark Kukla

Amazing place with tons of butterflies the moment you step in. Just please, as they ask, watch your step as there are often below in the path and they don't always like to move.

Dana Underwood

I absolutely loved this place!! Very pretty and lots of room for these little butterflies! Very beautiful! When I went it was alittle crowded and almost no social distancing but I was too focused on how beautiful everything was! We also went on this amazing carriage ride and that was worth the money and time! It was amazing! ❤

Robin Rankin

We loved our visit to the butterfly conservatory. The room was absolutely a flutter. We spent approximately 1 hour viewing the butterflies.

Emily Campbell

Since we had a wonder pass they just ushered us in without explaining anything. There is a coat area but I think you have to ask for it. It is very warm once you go in with the butterflies. It's nice to just find a place to sit and watch as …

Chad Wismer

Tons beautiful butterflies of all different sizes and colours in a tropical atmosphere of incredible plants and flowers, even turtles and koi fish. Very peaceful and relaxing, perfect for taking lots of pictures making memories. I bought a nice Niagara Falls souvenir jacket from the gift shop on my way out.

Ihor Palahnyuk

The garden is free to walk around. The Butterfly conservatory is 10-15minutes quick walk. It was our second time and it seems like less butterflies; no wow effect anymore. Definitely, not worth the money ($20 per person). Video room is closed due to covid; it was hard to stay long inside wearing the mask.

Aiko

Get the Niagara Falls wonder pass for $25 (multiple attractions) instead of one ticket here for $20. Came right after bird kingdom so was a bit disappointed that it was so small for such a big building. You can easily walk the whole thing in 5 minutes so we tried to drag it out but still was only able to stay for 30min. The butterflies were pretty but not really worth the money or the parking ($3 per hour). **go in the summer so you can walk the park, we went near Christmas so there was nothing to do

vidyut banerjee

Perfect place for families with young kids, this is amazing for plant lovers and budding botanists as well. So many pretty butterflies.

Gary Fung

You will surrounded by gorgeous butterflies left right centre, above and beyond once stepped into the tropical rainforest territory. Definitely worth a visit.

Adam King

We paid for our tickets online but still had to wait in line for an hour because of the capacity limit. We spent an hour inside including looking around the gift shop. It was amazing to see all the butterflies, so many different kinds. Just a note, online parking is at least $25, if you are drivimg to different areas of Niagara and parking. At the Butterfly Conservatory its $3 an hour to park.

Nathalie Mila

Loved it! Exotic butterflies and cool moths flying, eating, and living harmoniously all around a botanical garden. Saw a bunch of really beautiful ones. An employee showed me their life cycle and put one on my finger! Great experience for all ages.

Nasir

This is one of the more relaxing attractions at Niagara and if you love butterflies, then it is a must-see. The kids loved it, they can get a free book with pictures of butterflies and moths, and get to see how many from the book they can find in the conservatory! As with most of the attractions, it can be quite a wait to get in due to Covid restrictions.

Farrukh Shakil

Really fun place for the any group of age. there is soo many different butterflies here & they're open throughout the winter. No change in the weather.

Binita Adhikari

I think its a nice place to look at amazing butterflies but it felt rather small and short time for the amount of ticket. I think its a great place to visit with kids, many types of colorful butterflies.

Jessica Tourigny

A wonderful experience, there's so many burterflies, I had the chance to get a "newborn" one on my hand, my boyfriend was wearing a pink t-shirt and butterfly were always on him! I guess he looked like a flower????‍♀️???? We'll definitely go back!
