Butterfly World is a wondrous day out for the whole family.

The tropical butterfly house will this year house over 600 tropical butterflies, to include the Blue Morpho, The Monarch, Swallowtail, Owl, Helliconius, Clearwing and many more.

As well as these spectacular butterflies we are focusing this year on educating visitors about the lifecycle of the butterfly, how extraordinary and fragile it is and how it can be so easily broken by a declining habitat.

In the Butterfly Breeding House you can see the tiny eggs, pupae and caterpillars and watch the butterflies emerging from their pupae ready to spread their wings. From here they are transported to the Tropical Butterfly House to source nectar and breed.

Individual gardens by Ivan Hicks – celebrated garden designer and chief landscape architect for the project, Ivan Hicks has created an incredible attraction for anyone interested in gardening – or just those who want to be inspired - at Butterfly World.

He has created an array of different gardens from ‘The Theatre of Insects’ to ‘Through the Flowerpot Garden’, in which you are transformed into ‘insect size’ and can walk through a giant flowerpot…but make sure the spider doesn’t catch you! Adored by children and grown-ups alike, come and see what he is creating for Phase II.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Butterfly World, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
