About Butterfly Conservatory

The Butterfly Conservatory is a climate-controlled tropical greenhouse where visitors stroll among hundreds of native and exotic butterflies, colorful plants and gentle water features. The setting is tranquil and photogenic — butterflies often land on visitors and flowers, creating magical moments for adults and children alike.

Educational panels and displays explain life cycles and conservation while paths guide a relaxed loop through the habitat; it’s a great alternative to the louder, wetter attractions. The Conservatory is especially welcome on cooler or rainy days and provides a calm, nature-focused complement to the power and drama of the falls.
