Today was an unusual time at the Restaurant. They didn't have anything on their Menu but Pizza. They offered a awful looking Buffet or Pizza. Have eaten there several times without going through the Butterfly Garden. There were several tables that just got up and left. Word of mouth will not help them if this continues. Over in the ice...

Butterfly Estates is a restaurant too, sort of a yuppie place but in a tourist City. It was good food, good setting, and comfortable to hang out.

If you're looking for a spot where you can find some peace and quiet then you need to check this place out. After a short explanation of what you will see, you can go inside. Once inside you are surrounded by the sounds of soft music and water trickling through small streams. The best part is the butterflies. They are... More

This is a lovely attraction in downtown Ft. Myers. It is comprised of a butterfly atrium and three restored historic cottages that contain a cafe, ice cream and fudge shop, and a gift shop. I had the calzone in the cafe the last time we visited, and it was delicious. If you live in the area, the best deal is... More

This was a beautiful, interesting and relaxing experience. The greenhouse gardens house all Florida native butterflies.

The guides are very knowledgeable and even showed us the tiny eggs that were layed by butterflies that... More

Having never been to a Butterfly garden I really enjoyed this. There is always someone there to help you find the butterflies and identify them for you. The cafe next door has great food.

This is a lovely little butterfly experience - it's not a big place and not a lot of species when I visited. The employees in the indoor garden were as nice as could be, knowledgeable about the butterflies, and took pride in the experience they provide. The gift shop employees were also nice ~ gave me a great discount on... More

It's very small, with only a few indigenous species. The employee was really well informed and gave a very interesting talk to everyone who came for a visit, for about 10 mins. There really wasn't anything else to see. The butterfly release was a little pathetic actually. Really don't suggest you eat there - the food was horrible and the... More

This butterfly garden is smaller than some of the ones I have visited, But over all it is nice. The employees were friendly and it is clean. There were alot of native butterflies and they educate you before going into the conservatory. Beautiful plants and a relaxing atmosphere. If you like to watch the butterflies like I do plan on...
