Beautiful and Educational
This is a phenomenal Butterfly Conservatory and an easy stop if you are visiting the Niagara Botanical Gardens. The Butterfly Conservatory has such a wide array of butterfly varieties and the layout is lush and beautiful. The gift shop has a nice array of items, staff are friendly, and there are both informational displays and an educational video that you can check out before entering the conservatory. You'll need to pay a small fee to park, but you'll also have access to the Niagara Botanical Gardens from this parking lot, which is free to visit. The combination of the two stops is truly well worth the cost.

I want to return....soon!
Don't miss this! It is amazing how these beautiful little creatures light up the world with such colors and patterns. We visited the conservatory just before Covid hit, so our experience was perfect. When we returned home, DH planted many bushes and plants know for attracting butterflies. They worked! Now, I can see several Monarchs as well as the better known white varieties from my dining room window. They make me so happy, why do they have such a short life span? It seems so unfair. After our amazing tour of the conservatory and seeing so many different butterflies, we went into the gift shop. We purchased a large light up canvas wall art with the most beautiful photo of a Monarch on a purple flower bush. It's beautiful, not only during the day, but at night when the photo lights up. We did get one of those photos taken before you enter, but, honestly, it was well worth the cost. DH and I hope to return whenever the borders open up again. Meantime, we have our lovely butterflies who visit our bushes everyday, and our beautiful wall art to remind us of the our most enjoyable conservatory tour.
