Fun but expensive. Some mechanical issues with the go-karts. A little disapointed

Yves Arsenault

Fun family time playing mini put! Batting cages, go-karts, bumper boats, driving range and more!

J Cline

Great spot for gifts and trinkets

Barb Mitton

Amanda & Kenneth Duplessis

Had a fun day !!!

Overall there are many different attractions here but some are much better than others. Our party tried the go carts and these were fun and worked reliably. On the other hand we used the bumper boats which stalled out several times and needed support to get them started again. This place gets extremely busy on weekends so be prepared to wait or come early.

Q.K. Lawson

Nice little stop. Go-karts are very slow, and they could definitely go faster without any higher risks. Baseball is a nice addition. Driving range has some of the best prices I've seen.

Rem Mallet (Rem)

Liked the mini golf and butterfly enclosure.

Bruno Pitre

(Translated) Children and adults alike loved ????Guaranteed fun. A bit expensive but the equipment and facilities are well maintained. It is possible to eat ice cream on site and there is a good selection! There aren't many places like this anymore! (Original) Les enfants et les grands ont aimés ????Du plaisir assuré. Un peu dispendieux mais les équipements et les installations sont biens entretenus. Il est possible de manger de la crème glacé sur place et il y a une bonne sélection ! Il n’y a plus beaucoup d’endroit de ce genre !

KYLE S TRITES

Awesome time smackin' balls at the driving range.

Music Mania

For a friend Should not be hiring kids to run a go kart track, should not be able to talk to people the way they do, literally did nothing..I stopped..person went in my lane he pointed at..so I went to the next one..try hiring adults Clearly not good with people or direction..

Shawn Perron

Nice place for kids and if u like butterflies

Spiffy Banana

Nice little place for some fun. Go karts(slow speed suited for beginners not thrill seekers. Bumper boats are good fun. Fun crazy golf course not to challenging and a butterfly zone which you can enter as much as you want with your day pass. Even some batting cages. All Reasonably priced.

David Miljour

(Translated) Beautiful resort town in Moncton with restaurant areas, a large free play park for children, a magnetic beach, a water park and a very nice vineyard. People are really easy going and smiling. (Original) Belle place de villégiature à Moncton avec aires de restaurants, un grand parc de jeux gratuits et payants pour les enfants, la côtr magnétique, un parc aquatique et un vignoble très sympathique. Les gens sont vraiment easy going et souriants.

Ethan Chin

Terrible place for go karting

Anthony Steeves

Mike Cormier

Great place to take the family and have a good time

Noah Legere

galzoul

(Translated) Cool as a fun place (Original) Cool comme endroit amusant

Robert Daigle

Fun place to take kids

Family Fun Channel

Kids enjoyed this. Especially the dome with the butterflies. Pretty cool

Paul Griffin

Peaceful time in the butterfly dome. Kids had fun in the bouncy castles and with the duck races. A good place to bring kids for sure. We spent hours here surprisingly.

Jason Richard

I think from a pure fun factor, this is a great place to spend a few hours. The stuff here works good and is a lot of fun. The only slight negative is the value - 8 tokens for a roughly 5 to 6 minute go cart turn feels like too much, at roughly $1 / token, it adds up if you're hoping to try everything, let alone try it twice. Again though, great rides, lots of fun and staff were very friendly.

Jean-Paul LeBlanc

Great place for kids. Butterfly World is a must see.

David L

Lots of fun to be had.

Ginger T

The employees don't care about the safety of their guests. Do not recommend. They are all younge and do not care about anything but hanging out with their friends

Lindsay

Batting cages had a lot of throws with no balls.

Patrick Flowers

We stopped by here not knowing what to expect. We where quite suprised at tye variety of things to do. The butterfly dome is a must. We were lucky enough to be there when a new shipment of butterflies had just come in. They were very beautiful and relaxing to watch. The kids really loved this place and we ended up spending the better part of the day.

J G

Great place to spend a few hours. My kids ages 10, 7 & 4 all had a blast. They have go carts, batting cages, games, Mini Putt, playground with ball pit. Lots for kids to do. The butterfly house was beautiful and paddle boating was also fun to do. We finished our evening with a an ice cream from the cute treat place onsite. Definitely worth a visit.

Jenny. Cormier

My Son enjoys the Butterflies there very calming when u suffer with mental illness

Linda Berry

Lots of interesting activities for everyone to enjoy. Love butterfly world so relaxing!

F Maz

We went there mainly to have our 3 years old daughter see butterflies. I was expecting a bigger greenhouse than what it was, but we saw plenty of butterflies and it was a great experience. In the same price, the admission included 2 bouncy castles, a really fun "make your own water maze and let various floaty toy float in the current" and a few more thing. There was also a free playground with balls pen. We spent about an hour there. It's not disney land, but I'd recomment it for kid 3-6 years old.

Brandon Croft

Little over price if your from around worth it if your a tourist

Nose and Dirty Will “Dirty Will” Major

Awesome we had a blast

Tristan Grant

Tourist trap. Butterfly World is a waste of money. Dont recommend. Token prices and ride quality not worth it. My suggestion just keep driving. Got over charged on drinks, then I couldn't get the overcharge back because I didnt have a receipt. Batting cage ate my tokens and didnt work.

Tara Fougere

Great place for family fun

Ann “TheEMan” Baker

The kids had a great day, got to cool off with a family water balloon fight.

Devon Austen

The kids and us loved boardwalk. The mini putt was fun. They have cool small kids bumper cars. But they best part was the go karts.

malek nadeau

(Translated) Lots of mini activities its fun and to go with the butterflies I recommend putting on a sweater if you want it to come on you (Original) Plein de mini activité ses amusants et pour aller avec les papillons je conseille de mettre un chandail fluaut si vous voulez qu'il vienne sur vous

J.J. Fevens

Go carts and batting cage are fun but other then that not much to do and $5.00 for a 1 minute go cart ride is kinda steep $40 for 50 tokens last about 20 mins

Stuart Black

Butterfly world was good. They need more signs that show rules and where things are

Dany Le Breton

Great place to bring the kids and alot of fun

Cristina Nannarone Tran

It's great if you have kids so much to do, but still fun and the little butterfly home is beautiful.

Helikon Tex

Great time with kids!

Rosie

The butterflies are probably the only thing I liked here, I was told I couldn't get a double go cart and had to have my own, I ended up not being able to reach the pedals and therefore was removed from the ride entirely. I really was hoping this place wouldn't have been as lackluster and expensive for what little you get.

shawna clevette

5 star for butterfly world but 3stars for the lack of social distancing and mask wearing

Sharon MacSween

Our family loved our day!

Tyler Lovekeeper

Great place for go karting, mini golf and paddle boats, also right across the street from magnetic hill

Kiana Maillet

such a sweet, calm place

Bad AssMoma36

Beautiful a d fun

Leoš Literák

Very realistic illusion. Funny.

Lazlo Klemenski

Always fun and rounds out a day to the zoo or the water slides!

James Lecouffe

Lots to do and fair prices. Love the butterflies, so worth it.

OSIAS BASQUE

(Translated) Very good except price a little expensive 8 token at 1.25+ tax its 11 dollars for 5 minutes so 1 hour is 66 dollars an hour so a 5 hour day with 2 children 660 dollars buy yourself one !!!!! a new children's 4 wheel for $ 700 for years of fun !!! the choice is yours ????????????????????☺???? (Original) Très bien sauf prix un peu cher 8 token à 1.25+ taxe sa fait 11 dollars pour 5 minute donc 1 heure sa fait 66 dollars l'heure donc un journée de 5 heure avec 2 enfant 660 dollars achète toi en un !!!!!un 4 roue enfant neuf ses 700 dollars pour des année de plaisir !!!à vous le choix ????????????????????☺????

Angela Ryan

Had a wonderful time with my nephew. There's something for all ages here.

Tracey Galbraith

played mini golf there, fun!!!!

Ian McGregor

Reasonable prices, fairly short lines. The water in the lake which hosts the paddle boats is dirty and smells. The paddle boats are in need of TLC and some are unusable (as of Aug 2018). The go carts, and water bumper boats seem to be the best bang for your buck. July 2019 Update. Staff are not t consistent when enforcing minimum age for children when riding the bumper boats. My children were turned away when right in front of us was child who was much younger than the limit, riding without a parent.

Bridget Buckley

The kids had a lot of fun.

Yamen Ghamian

Batting cage. Mini golf. Go karting. Water balloon fights. Bumper boats. Butterfly park. All basic but all in one place. Fun place to hang out for two hours with the kids.

FortyFive Heavy

It's ok but the bumper boats don't work well they will stop in the middle of your ride and the boats are a waste of time also ( they don't work )

Gilles Gaumont

Great time for the whole family as well as good covid setup. For 40$ you can hit up a couple go-kart rides for a couple people. They have an amazing butterfly room. Just be warned that its not as much fun to see them on a really hot day. Rides include: Bumper Boats Batting Cage Water Balloon Wars Go Karts (for single or double riders for Adult accompagnied children) Paddle boats Mini Golf Small Arcade Butterfly exhibit (extra fee)

Teacher Amber

This is a wonderful spot for a family day of fun. Great spot for the kiddos to play!

Monica Stoilov

This place was awesome. The butterflies land on you and are so curious. I can't believe that we have something as good as this inside this climate, you'd think you were in the tropics! Great place to bring the kids!

Steve Macdonald

Magnetic Hill really is amazing. There are plenty of other family attractions nearby with ample free parking. Attendance was restricted due to covid which meant smaller crowds than normal. Everyone on staff was friendly and helpful. Lots of good hotels close by.

Tristin Cooke

This place has lots of stuff to do. And a Friendly staff

The Rev. Stratton Phillips

Great spot for a walk and quick snack. Lots to see and do.

A Mo

My family always has a blast at the Boardwalk and Butterfly World. I am always impressed with how clean and well maintained it is. Butterfly World is a beautiful attraction that my little girls love visiting. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Erin Brazeau

We stumbled upon this place on our way to magnetic hill (lame) and the boardwalk was sooooo much fun. Not very expensive and fun activities such as bumper boats, batting cages, water balloon catapult and more. Also definitely stop by the ice cream store for delicious inexpensive treat with lots of options of flavours but you have been warned to take a baby size it is more than enough!

Raphael Titsworth-Morin

Cute place with fun activities.

kuldeep singh

Its worth place to visit. Must visit for quick and different activities

Madalyn and Memphis Skeeter and Moose

So much fun for everyone! Whether it be taking the car for a ride with the 'magnet', go kart racing, mini golf, or the bumper boats there is literally something for people of every age to enjoy. Can't wait till we can visit again!

Skylar Dutcher

Great family day

Barb Robinson

I found some of the employees to be rude. Layout was quite confusing. Family pass only applies to a family of 4 and only if they live at the same address. Children under 5 are not permitted to participate in most attractions even when accompanied by a parent or adult. This is not disclosed until after the tokens are purchased and refunds are not given for any reason whatsoever. We were very disappointed with our family trip to the Boardwalk and Butterfly World. I am not recommending this place to anyone.

Vladimir Kim

Family friendly. Awesome and not expenaive

Shelley

Loved the Butterfly House!

Duncan's Plumbing

Love the batting cages....when they work

Nikhil Tailor

Best place to hangout with lots of activities under it. JUST RECOMMEND

Sean King

Lots of fun for the whole family. Batting cage was a hit ????

Dylan

Absolutely loved it there although the go carts were quite slow I still loved it

Jeanine Leblanc

Loved it

Peter Barnaby

We stopped here with our kids over the summer. Lots to do, but it does come at a price. The butterfly conservatory was decent though small. Still a lot of fun. The gift shop had some neat stuff. We would definitely stop here again to kill some time on road trips. Very conveniently located off the trans Canada highway. Close to McDonald’s and gas stations. The water table was a big hit

Hello Moon

Nice place and overall very fun! We visited with cousins!

Jeremy

Can't give a good review. Called in 2 days in advance to see when Butterfly World would open as we were taking the kids there for grading. The gentleman had said they were opening up today (20 June 2020). After driving from Fredericton to Butterfly World (Moncton) with 2 very excited kids, we arrived and were told that they were not opening until 01 July 2020. The manager did apologize for the miscommunication and we are currently waiting to speak with the owner. More to follow.

E Wave

It was a nice place to go to with my friend a little pricey otherwise great bummer carts were good (other then that kid who tried to make me crash into him, I didn’t tho) great time loved water boats

serena wong

Came in a fairly large group, around 15 people in total. The park was pretty much empty with the exceptions being other small families. We went for water bumpers and there was no other people in line for it. We were told that we would have to wait a bit as there were people about to go cart that were there a little before us. Fine with us, we were okay with waiting. 20-30 minutes later they were done, we were still waiting. as that group left, we expected to be the ones to go next on our activity. however, another family arrives for go carting and they immediately start to set them up. a family member of mine complains that we have been waiting for a long time and that we shouldn’t be waiting for others to have to go even though we were lined up way before them. their responses were that go carts have priority over everything else, and if people were going to be lining up for go carts, then they would always have to focus before anyone else. Absolutely ridiculous, the fact that they had the audacity to admit that they would ignore us if others were to keep coming.

(Translated) Really fun for the family (Original) Vraiment amusant pour la famille

krys “Vicious_Tigeress” mitton

Always do I recommend you guys for tourists and families. Awesome prices lots to do and friendly staff

Lydia Cai

(Translated) You can also play with children. (Original) 带小孩来玩还可以

Christian Denton

The kids had a pretty good time. Lineups were minimal. Costs were a bit high but overall a nice way to spend a sunny afternoon.

straight to the point Corms

Price is wild. But ok lil spot. Figure with the money they make would be better attractions or atleast fix up the outdated mini putt

Chad Phillips

Went on go karts with my kids loved it

steve logan

GO KARTS GO KARTS GO KARTS

Matthew Mcmasters

Great place for children and young families

Cory Rushton

Drove go carts against Premier Blain Higgs and was hilarious!

Elili Gill

(Translated) A bit expensive, but really fun for young and old (Original) Un peu cher, mais vraiment amusant pour les petits et grands

Lisa-Mae MacDonald

Cool things to do needs up dated and more staff.

Geoffrey Cormier

Went for a good time, got super slow go carts and a worker grabbing a butterfly in their garden by the wings.

Muhammad Rajput

It's free and a lot of fun. My advice is to go after sunset as the traffic isn't as much. It's an illusion. I used an elevation detector application from play store to test it. It seems like you are going up, but you really are going down.

Christeen Awad

The whole place is run by teenagers, which is fine, but at least train them properly...watching the kids/employees deal with the butterflies, hurting them, and generally handling them wrong, is just heartbreaking... ESPECIALLY considering they are employees. There hardly were any butterflies, and 7/10 butterflies are missing antennas, legs, parts of their wings... On a lesser note; the kids I was personally dealing with were power tripping and horribly rude, staring at guests, and gossiping in front of guests...some employees were lovely though, so it must just be those few girls we met. I have been to many conservatories for butterflies, and this one is more of a graveyard for them.

Sam Cormier

Great place to bring kids, lots of fun for the whole family!

Beaman Carson

Loved it . Good for families and friends

Enado

One of the better fun spots in Moncton however, the safety gears need cleaning

Darlene Morrison

Expensive but kids have fun

Lynn

Fun place but the staff is lazy and unhelpful. Not impressed and would not return.

JBK Millzz

Should not be hiring kids to run a go kart track, should not be able to talk to people the way they do, literally did nothing..I stopped..person went in my lane he pointed at..so I went to the next one..try hiring adults

August1lef

I kinda went over the tires, and crashed in the trees, and broke the go-kart I’m pretty sure...And the only person who noticed was my mom and the grass mower guy, great guy and asked me if I was okay! Really fun tho and totally recommend 9/10

Genevieve Cote

(Translated) Really funny. The kids were begging for more (Original) Vraiment amusant. Les enfants en redemandaient

Matthew Tremblay

The go-karts really pack a punch! I like just zooming by everybody lol! Although I tried the batting cages and at first no balls would come out. 9/10 overall!

Faisal Khatib

Great spot for kids

Denis Mercier

Great day for kids

Jaimie S

Enjoyed our time here! We come often as we can!

Josh Smith

It's a fun way to spend an afternoon with some friends. There is a nice variety of things to do like have a water balloon fight with slingshots, race some go karts or go in the batting cages. Nothing will blow you away (for example the go karts are not very fast), and the tickets are a bit expensive, but overall it's still fun.

Tyler Gibson

We had a blast ...

Sam Westfield

Always had a great experience at the boardwalk. Staff is very kind and helpful. Go Karts, Batting cage and mini golf are all a blast! Great place to bring kids or a group of friends

monica muise

Love going to butterfly world every year. Can’t wait to go again

rubliwton

I don't know how it works, it we rolled back up hill! Affordable little attraction that defies physics!

Lori Doiron

Was a bit disappointed that there were very few butterflies. Some of the ones that were there were looking very stressed and worn out. Tail feathers were choppy. Kids enjoyed it even though it was raining.

christopher mcstravick

Fun to go during the week..not so many folks..small lines..and it was fun for the whole family

Gordon Cowan

Great spot for kids to play and have fun butterfly exhibition is awesome check it out everyone young old

carolinebabineau

My 5 and 1 year olds had at blast at butterfly world/ball pit. Kept them busy for 2+ hours, could have stayed longer..

Brenda Babin

My kids loved it here.

Paul Drake

My Girls love this place.. Costly though..

Robbie Olsen

Went on a date with my girlfriend for mini putt and batting cages mini putt was good but batting faces don’t work, tried 2 times and the balls would come out ,wouldn’t recommend

Leonard Gervais

A great time at butterfly emporium

Jeremy Beach

Very fun my kid's had a blast

billiejean bernard

we came here today with my 6 year old who has autism. we were inside for literally 2 minutes when she had a major meltdown because she was scared of the butterflies. we asked for our 30.00 back and the girl said 2 words "no refunds". needless to say we wanted 30.00 to have 2 minutes in the place. they need to have a better refund policy for times like this.

Angela Carolie

Go carts n mini golf lots of fun

CHRIS G. LIVINGSTON

So beautiful

Jason Drysdale

I can let off some steam (driving range) and relax (butterfly world) at the same place.

guy doiron

Closed for season

Lisa Pursey

Was a great time.....

Matthew Johnson

Go karts are fun

Archonstix

A wonderful little spot to head with your kids :)

Carlos Vallejo

Very good

Cl Hl

Great place to take the kids for a couple of hours. More things to do with older kids but our 6 and under really liked Butterfly world and the water table area and bouncy house. If you do want to do any other activities you do need to purchase tokens. Also they dont do refunds. Loved the ice cream hut as a break and then the playground was great to do before heading home.

Danny Keleher

Lots of fun but little pricey

Jason F

SHOULD NOT BE HIRING KIDS to run a go kart track, should not be able to talk to people the way they do, literally did nothing..I stopped..a person went in my lane WITH A CHILD so I’m not going to go over in front it’s too late, ..so I went to the next one...and my girlfriend was behind me she doesn’t even know what the kid was going on about, told to get off track when I did nothing, try communication..try hiring adults

Tyler P

Great place to take the family for a couple hours. Who doesn't love bumper cars?

Marcus Murdock

It's ok

Abiodun Awokunle

Nice place...worth the visit!

Matthew Stainforth

Small and not a lot to do but it's clean and well managed

D Fish

Fun for all ages

Peter Bryant

Shops

Todd Mugridge

Wasn't impressed that you had to go from the driving range hut to the ticket hut to pay for a bucket of balls and I wasn't the only one who was upset

Melanie Rousseau

(Translated) The children had fun and it was not too expensive. (Original) Les enfants se sont bien amusés et ce n'était pas trop dispendieux.

Sara Ingersoll

Entertaining and Reasonable Rates

Chris J

Great for the kids. Space is small but there are enough butterflies to occupy about 15 people. There are also go karts and paddle boats to keep the whole family entertained. When I’m the area be sure to checkout magnetic hill and the zoo.

Denis G Mercier

Fun for kids

kim doiron

Great Family fun. I will return. The go carts are so much fun. Just outside of the Zoo and water park. Can be pricey if you have more 5han one child.

Denis LeBlanc

What a dump! Expensive , lazy staff , over priced and need even more money just to do anything else! Garbage!

Dave Gaudet

Great way to spend the afternoon..

Kyle Miller

Well won’t be going here SHOULD NOT BE HIRING KIDS to run a go kart track, should not be able to talk to people the way they do, literally did nothing..I stopped..a person went in my lane WITH A CHILD so I’m not going to go over in front it’s too late, ..so I went to the next one...and my girlfriend was behind me she doesn’t even know what the kid was going on about, told to get off track when I did nothing, try communication..try hiring adults

Lots of fun for the kids butterfly world is so nice

Erin Moore

The butterfly experience was not the best but the rest of the park was great.

leigh roberts

Lots of activities to do. Pricing varies. Nice way to spend the day.

TheSoulessTourist

Lots of fun for the whole family. We went to mostly the butterfly world portion and we have a young child. Lots of activities to do and the butterfly dome was incredibly cool. The price overall wasnt very expensive either (20$ and we were there for a solid 2 hours). Will definitely be going back.

Mindy R

Great place to spend an afternoon. The kids love the go karts and bumper boats and there is a play structure with a ball pit as well. They have delicious ice cream. And butterfly world and mini golf is in the same area as well.

Arlene Rose

Tad expensive for what it is but still a fun day

Alain Obomsawin

(Translated) Too expensive for a small backward slope (Original) Trop cher pour une petite pente a reculon

Katrina Gilroy

My kids had a blast and keep asking to go back everyday since our visit a week ago would have been better if the staff running the water boats and go karts where a little more friendly

Kara

It was early in the season but to buy a decent amount of coins cost a lot and there's not much for young kids except the mini putt and free play area. The butterfly garden wasn't open, the batting cages and bumper cars and boats are for older teens.

Leonard Spink

Fun place for an afternoon of family time. Go-karts, bumper boats, paddle boats are all great. They could use a couple of more attractions for more variety.

Isabelle Sénéchal

Nice

jamie hiscock

Loved the water balloon cage!

James Loggie

Fun place for everyone.

Pam John

So many different things to do for family's here

JD McKinnon

Its a nice break. We really enjoy the butterfly hut.
