Staff were so informative and helpful. One time purchase of tickets gets you in as many times as you like during your visit. Very reasonable at $15 per Adult and children under 2 are free. We had such a great time! more

This place is worth visiting for the following reasons: 1. The tour is very informative and entertaining. 2. Your money, unlike most other places on palm beach, actually goes to benefit a good cause. 3. Purchasing one ticket gives you unlimited visits (during your trip) to their venue. 4. The tour is only 30 minutes, making it an easy stop... more

Of the three major "animal activities" in Aruba (the others being the Donkey Sanctuary and the Ostrich Farm), this is by far the most convenient to the High-Rise area, situated on the outskirts of the Bubali Bird Sanctuary between the Westin and the Divi Phoenix. Moreover, it's a legitimately fun, informative way to spend an hour in the morning or... more

After a day at the beach my husband and I headed to the Butterfly Farm. For $15 a person you get a short 15 minute tour and a visit to the farm. You can stay as long as you want and come back as often as you want with your ticket stub. It was a nice way to spend the... more

My wife wanted to go to the butterfly farm... I was unenthused but desperately wanted her to be happy so I agreed to go. She had to pull me out of the farm... I enjoyed it immensely... except for the fact that we paid $40 for a beautiful, framed blue butterfly that we saw elsewhere on the island priced as... more

I visited the Butterfly garden twice during my stay in Aruba ( only the first visit has to be paid, others are free). I had the chance to have the explanations in english and also in french afterwards, as Lorenzo, one of the guides is a french person (canadians who speak french too do appreciate his being around). The place... more

This was a very nice little few hours when we wanted a small break from the sun. My wife really wanted to go, and she talked me into it; and I am very glad she did. It is on the small side, but the butterflies were amazing. The tour guide is very nice and she is 'really' into her job... more

We really enjoyed the butterfly farm. It's quite small but its a really pleasant break away from the beach on a hot afternoon. They have landscaped gardens and little ponds with loads of beautiful butterflies floating around the lovely flowering plants. Go independently if u can as it's too small for a big coach party! more

I absolutely loved The Butterfly Farm! I'm currently an Animal Science graduate student and I always try to incorporate doing some thing that is animal/insect oriented when I go away on vacation. There were so many different butterfly species at the Butterfly Farm that I had never seen before. I even learned a few new things! Besides being a graduate... more

Nice place to take your family. Plenty of butterflies, but they seem a bit damaged. Many of the butterflies had wing damage... other insects to keep your attention too. more
