A visit provides the opportunity to see hundreds of butterflies flying freely in a natural environment. Visitors have the unique opportunity to study the egg-caterpillar-chrysalis-imago life cycle first hand.

Many information boards are displayed and illustrated signs identify the popular species and their country of origin. The emerging cages provide the chance to see around 20 adult butterflies being born each day as they emerge from their chrysalis.

 

We also have exotic finches flying freely and Chinese Painted Quail wandering around eating uninvited insects!

 

The Hungry Caterpillar & Gift Shop

 

Our large Gift Shop offers a wide range of gifts, many with a butterfly theme.

 

 

Postcards, posters, mounted and framed butterflies; pictures, stationery, china, mobiles, jigsaws, tea towels, scarves, jewellery, pens and key rings are among the items stocked.
