The butterfly house is a great place to visit. If you have a free hour or two, it is pleasant to just walk through and enjoy or just to sit on a bench. The admission fee is nominal, so it is easy to visit often and to bring out of town guests to visit. More

We live in the area and have a membership to the local botanical gardens which also gives us free admission to the Butterfly House. My 2 year old just loves to see the butterflies, and we are always amazed when we go in too. The butterflies are HUGE! And there are lots of them! Besides the butterfly room, there are... More

This was a little smaller than I expected but the butterfly house was very interesting with the butterflies all around you and beautiful orchids. They also have a lot of "creepy" bugs on display. More

If you visit the St. Louis area or even if you reside in Missouri you must visit Sach's butterfly house. Before you enter the butterfly area. You will be greeted with a very experienced staff that not only can explain" how a butterfly emerges from it's cocoon" but you may on a good day see the actual process. They have... More
