What visitors say
Nice day at the butterfly farm. The place hasn't changed at all with the 2 green houses, one for butterflies and one with turtles and birds. The gardens in my opinion is the highlight of the property they are absolutely beautiful and this is what saves the place charging so much for a family entrance. The cafe has a decent range of food and snacks if you don't fancy packing a picnic. Watch out for the peacocks!!

This place is amazing and definitely worth visiting. There is plenty of space, beautiful gardens, peacocks wandering around freely, a hedge maze, and many other attractions to enjoy. The butterfly house itself is fantastic – butterflies fly all around you and often land on your clothes or hands, making it a truly special experience. I highly recommend a visit!

Beautiful spot hidden away. Well maintained and lots to see! Amazing butterfly experience and you can just stay as long as you please, humid inside the butterfly house as should be expected. Social peacocks love to join in the family picnic.

Beautiful, well maintained gardens.. its like stepping back in time. The butterfly house was unique and filled with many varieties... well worth the visit on its own. However the gardens and the maze are perfect accompliments and together form a perfect attraction for an evening away.
