Stationed right between Palm and Eagle beaches. You pay once and then can return as much as you want for the rest of your stay in Aruba, which is neat. The staff give brief tours, teaching about butterflies and conservation. Every morning new butterflies emerge from cocoons, and if you come early you can watch. Then in the afternoon the... More

We went with our granddaughter, age 13, and she was blown away by these butterflies. It is a great value and an education. A must when visiting Aruba!

We loved the Butterfly Farm. Staying at the Westin Resort and Casino, this attraction is a five minute walk at most from the hotel. The ticket allows you to go back during your entire stay, so go your first day and go back again! Our first visit was in the afternoon. It was hot and humid. We saw butterflies and... More

Your fee gets you in for the entire time you're visiting the island! We went back a couple times. What a gem! The butterflies are simply gorgeous! They have great displays and a cute little gift shop. If you or your loved one enjoys butterflies, this is it! I've been to butterfly gardens in three different countries on three different... More

Wow, this place was just magical - so many beautiful butterflies! The guides were wonderful and well versed. The gift shop has so many beautiful things in it, that I had a hard time leaving :) I will definitely be coming back!

While on an excursion to Aruba from our Caribbean cruise, we visited the Butterfly Farm. The tropical butterflies were flying all over the enclosed area where they live. Our informative guide gave a very well descriptive overview of the life of butterflies. We were very fortunate to have the largest butterfly hatch while we were there. It was beautiful and... More

We decided to go the the Butterfly Farm when we arrived in port on our Princess Cruise ship. The cost was $15 US. The entry fee is good for multiple entries into the farm. We were there just one day so, of course, we just visited once. Take the 10B Local bus , heading towards the high rise time shares... More

Our sons loved cathing the butterflies on their fingers. Also, the turtles loved our 4 year old who made sure they had plenty of green leaves to eat. Really a good experience!

Who doesn't like butterflies? This was a lovely butterfly farm with a good guided tour if you wanted, but it was nice to just hang out there and relax among the beautiful butterflies, water features with lovely pond and fish. A great feature was if you paid once you could come back as many times as you wanted for the... More
