I was surprised to get so much information. Frankly, I don't like to be outdoors too long in this heat. But, the butterflies were sweet. Great if you have kids and want to visit birds of prey and be close up.

A brief overview is offered in the anteroom of the small butterfly garden conservatory. There are pleasant areas within to enjoy and photograoh a number of types of butterflies as they fly and rest on the flowers and plants. Warm and humid, of necessity. The little restaurant was gloomy inside, but we liked the deck and split a generous and... More

Saw brochure, said open 365 days a year. Arrived on a Monday and the place was closed down. We made time to go back on Friday before our vacation was over and although the conservatory was open, the resturaunt and gift shop were closed because of some permit snafu, so we were told. So we paid our $11 per person... More

Once inside you are surrounded by the sounds of soft music and water trickling through small streams. The best part is the butterflies. They are... More

This is a lovely attraction in downtown Ft. Myers. It is comprised of a butterfly atrium and three restored historic cottages that contain a cafe, ice cream and fudge shop, and a gift shop. I had the calzone in the cafe the last time we visited, and it was delicious. If you live in the area, the best deal is... More

This was a beautiful, interesting and relaxing experience. The greenhouse gardens house all Florida native butterflies. In the atrium leading to the main gardens there are containers of chrysalis and caterpillars forming them. You get to experience all the stages of transformation. The guides are very knowledgeable and even showed us the tiny eggs that were layed by butterflies that... More

Having never been to a Butterfly garden I really enjoyed this. There is always someone there to help you find the butterflies and identify them for you. The cafe next door has great food.
