The Butterfly Place

$35.00 Gift Certificate

An indoor garden filled with hundreds of freely-flying butterflies!

See New England butterflies and tropical species from all over the world. Walk along a winding pathway. Observe butterflies sipping from flowers, basking in the sunshine and flying freely in a natural habitat. Enjoy our koi fish and quail birds which live among the butterflies. Visit the "show and tell bench" where a staff member is always available to answer your questions and help make your visit fun. See eggs, caterpillars or other interesting creatures up close.

Parking at The Butterfly Place is free and plentiful. All areas are handicapped accessible, and strollers are welcomed and encouraged. The butterfly flight area is kept at 80-85 degrees as butterflies need warmth to fly. Dress appropriately. There is air conditioning in all other areas. Most visitors spend about one hour to enjoy their visit. Your admission is valid for the entire day, so you may “come and go” as you please. There is no place to eat inside. The Butterfly Place does offer an outdoor picnic area, where there is a covered tent available from April through the end of the season (see schedule). In addition, there are nearby places to go for coffee, lunch or ice cream. Don’t forget your camera!
