Fantastic butterfly zoo! Just perfect and affordable too. We loved it. Lots to spot and a lot to learn too. Educational but fun and interesting. Beautiful butterflies flying around you, might sit on you too! Benches in places so you can sit and watch them ... they're so playful with each other too. You get a magnifying glass and some info sheets with facts too. Great! You can watch them hatch too so you learn about the whole process with chrysalis etc highly recommend! - paid car park - good facilities - maze currently being replanted ( 2026) - mini and crazy golf options indoor and out ( additional) - close to river Wye - good pub nearby - only minutes away from Ross-on-Wye and close to Monmouth

Went their on a weekday for my birthday and absolutely had a good time! You are given laminated sheets of pictures to identify butterflies and a magnifying glass. There is many species of butterflies to find and they are flying around everywhere. Plenty of seats as well. Staff was lovely and we played the Indoor mini golf after which was fun and quick, you are able to revisit the butterfly house once paid for so I did a quick look around again after golf. Great visit!

Absolutely gorgeous. All the butterflies looked healthy with plenty of space. Information was given to you on cards so it makes identifying each one much easier. Was very warm inside which, being a tropical butterfly house, is expected. Only teeny tiny criticism I have is all the benches were soaking wet. I couldn't sit and admire the little beauties. Highly recommend a visit.

Lovely day out. We saw every species of butterfly they had there before eating at the cafe and going head to head in mini golf. The hedge maze wasn't open this year but we love that to. Great place
