Fun and interesting but a bit pricey as some have mentioned. We did enjoy it and the little bug scooters for the children along with pith helmets and magnifying glass was cool. Hall of mirrors although small was cool! Don't let your little ones run in there because nothing good happens! Trust me... The banyan tree bungee is cool for... More

I took my wife and two small children to the butterfly palace today, we spent about two hours there and the kids were entertained for the whole time. The exhibits at the butterfly palace are rather small, you could literally see and experience everything in under 30 mins if you so desired. But with little kids, there are a number... More

There are several things to do at the butterfly palace, but no one event there is spectacular. The mirror maze is smaller than average. The big exhibit is also small. The butterfly exhibit is very hot! The movie was interesting. More

The butterflies are beautiful and the gardens are lovely. This is a very low key stop in Branson, just what you need to cool off and de-stress in the middle of the day. More

Our three year old really enjoyed the butterflies and other attractions. The butterflies were very active when we went, in the morning. In addition, they landed on our three year old and that made it more fun for him. They have explorer hats and magnifying glasses for the kids and he loved looking through his "magnifying" to see the butterflies.... More

I actually got to visit here with my first graders field trip. It was different than I expected, I thought of only butterflies however there is a little room with some frogs, lizards and other things in it and there was a mirror maze which was very fun for the kids and myself!! The actual area with the butterflies was... More

Very interesting place. Our five year old grand daughter had a great time. We wished they had made the area where they were "growing" butterflies more accessible. It isn't low enough for kids to view and the window was fogged over. Would have been more educational if you could see the larvae and different stages. Great gift shop. More

The idea of a place to see hundreds of species of non-American butterfly species sounded intriguing. I expected to something larger and more organized. Instead, I'm charged over $20 to go into a room with smaller than the size of a basketball court and search for butterflies. Yes, there are some exotic species there that are very beautiful. But I...
