Butterfly World is the first park of its kind in the Western Hemisphere and the largest butterfly park in the World. Many years of research, combined with careful planning and control, have created the right conditions for thousands of butterflies to fly, court, feed and bask in the sunlight, as you walk among them, and enter their world! Beacuse most of these butterflies are bred at Butterfly World, you will also be able to witness their entire life cycle and marvel at unusual caterpillars and pupae.
Plants are essential for the survival of butterflies. The expert horticultural department propagates thousands of specialized plants to feed caterpillars and countless flowering specimens to provide nectar for adult butterflies. Free flying Hummingbirds, Lorikeets and many other tropical birds complete the enchantment of a day at Butterfly World.
