My sister, niece and great-niece went with me today to Magic Wings and it was delightful! The butterflies greeted us as we entered the room and there was so much to see. My great-niece is 4 and she was absolutely mesmerized as all the butterflies flew around and on us. We watched the turtles eating, saw baby quail walking around... More

The Butterfly Conservatory is a special place for people of all ages - it really is a beautiful and calm environment to be in. Even a relative of mine who though it might be disconcerting to have butterflies flying around her in a closed environment was in wonder at the experience. I wouldn't recommend the cafeteria but in a pinch... More

Magic Wings truly is a magical place. Thousands of tropical butterflies flitter freely within the very large conservatory. The gift store is well stocked with butterfly trinkets and for $1.00 you can purchase a butterfly identification guide (which is very useful for the large variety of butterflies you will see). There is an education area, and other animals other than... More

We were traveling up from New Jersey to Vermont and stopped at Magic Wings with my 2 year old daughter, husband, sister, parents and 90 year old grandparents. I had read the reviews before going and was a little concerned about how my rather energetic daughter would be treated in such a facility and was pleasantly surprised. Although she was... More

As soon as you enter these tropical gardens, you're greeted by the liberated butterflies. They fly around you, near you, on you and they're oh, so beautiful. The music encourages these gorgeous creatures to circle throughout the gardens and, if you're lucky enough, land on your shoulder! We spent 1 1/2 hours sauntering along the paths, stopping from time to... More

The owner is insanely rude and unprofessional. She approached me with a nasty attitude and scared my children as well as ruined their experience. We will never go back to that establishment. I do not enjoy paying $50 to get into the butterfly conservatory and then being treated like dirt because my children were excited to have the butterflies land... More

Fun exhibit, small, but with TONS of butterflies, very warm greenhouse which is lovely to explore mid-winter. Kids like to go once every year, combined with a trip to Yankee Candle. Very popular also with grandparents.. More

I had no idea that this would be such a great trip. There are tons of butterflies everywhere and beautiful plants like their natural habitat. Go and take you kids!! More

If you love butterflies then this is the place for you! As a hobby photographer, this was a place I had always wanted to visit, but it is 2 hours away. So, I got an overnight mid week room down the road and went twice to Magic Wings. The second day was better because there was more sun and better... More
