    Not a must-see
    This place is not really worth your time, to be honest. It was way too crowded, way too hot. There is a very narrow path to follow around and try and spot butterflies (which can be difficult). But there is no way to hold them, there are scarce information signs too. It’s mostly beautiful vegetation, as if you’re in a jungle. But not a must-see place, especially considering the alternatives.

    Nice place to visit
    We did not book tkts in advance as we were not sure what day or time we would be here. this was not an issue as even though it was busy we were able to buy tkt's on the spot. it's not very big and i was expecting to see more butterflies... It's nice and not expensive so worth the time if you are in the area.

    Beautiful butterflies
    A beautiful butterfly house in an old glass house . Pretty much what you would expect from it - lots of butterflies and a little walkway high up to give you a view over the greenery waterfall and pond filled with fish as butterflies fly around you. Nice and relaxing.

    Pricey
    The Schmetterlinghaus is quite pricey for its small scale and lack of diverse species. Most of the butterflies in the house are monarchs and it was difficult to spot anything else. It is a good experience and a welcome break from the many art galleries in the area.

    Very beautiful but with a small downside
    Beautiful ecosystem, we saw many butterflies The only downside is the ticket, which is rather expensive for a very small exhibition. I understand that butterflies need a very specific environment to thrive but still a little bit overpriced.

    Butterfly house - in Vienna
    As we were strolling in the city center we literally bumped into this - butterfly house in Vienna. There is a 7 euro entrance fee - not the cheapest and you have discount with the Vienna card - still I would say worth it. I don't recall the names of the butterflies that we saw but there were a lot of them - several different- bright and less bright colored - hanging on flowers or flying around - so very interesting for me. Once inside - it is fairly small - but for me it was enough - we spent like 30 minutes there just watching butterflies - sort of relaxing. Remember the rules says don't touch anything- so just try to respect that- but on the other hand don't get surprised if some butterfly will use you as a support - so they just land on you. Inside is very humid - so if you have issues I don't recommend getting in it can be difficult to breath. There is a small gift shop outside - so it you want a memory you can get it there. Overall a nice experience - I would say you try it if you are in the area.

    Small Butterfly House
    Small butterfly house in downtown close to Albertina. Not the “butterflyhouse of my life”, quite small place though was not too busy as we visited close to closing hour. A bit overpriced (well, compared to eg. museum tickets), 7 eur in ‘19, we spent not more than 20 mins inside.

    Butterfly House
    The Schmetterlinghaus (butterfly house) is hosted in a greenhouse close to Hofburg palace. Inside the greenhouse they have created a tropical forest and hundreds of butterflies fly around. It's an interesting experience that is worthwile if you have already in the area, and you have 20 minutes to spare. There are butterflies of different kinds, and they both perch on trees, flowers, plates with fruit - everythig is coated in honey for their food. They also often rest on people hands, although none liked my hands :-) Due to the fact that a tropical rainforest is recreated here, it's extremely humid and hot, just bearable for a short time.

    An Oasis Midst in Vienna
    Vienna is a very busy city with seemingly uncountable possibilities for things to do. The Butterfly House offers a respite for tranquillity from the hustle and bustle. Hundreds of delicate butterflies flutter in the house. One landed on me, then continued on its flight. Photo ops abound. Take a careful look at the waterfalls, trees and plants. What appears to be a gray butterfly suddenly bursts into color! A visit here is relaxing. You can wander along the paths in this very unique spot.

    To be avoided
    The ambient is very small with few butterflies. The visit won't last more than 10 minutes. The price is exagerated.

    Busy
    So this was very busy. And to be honest there probably less butterfly’s than we expected. The ones we did see were stunning but there could have been more. On top of that it’s a butterfly house, hence, hot. Really hot. And busy.

We had to queue for a while and the butterfly house was very crowded, you were almost pushed through.

We were through it after just ten minutes, but then we walked the circular route again because I would have found the €9 entrance fee very steep otherwise.

It was beautifully designed with a watercourse, a bridge, statues and lots of plants, but overall it was quite small.

There is a similar butterfly house in Luisenpark with more butterflies and wider paths, where you can spend longer.

Perhaps they should offer tickets for time slots to avoid overcrowding, similar to the Miniatur Wunderland.

•Located in a fantastic art deco building you can see a number of butterflies freely roaming in a tropical environment. It is therefore quite hot inside and more than 20 minutes is difficult to stay. It is still a nice experience and the butterflies if you approach slowly also come on your hands. Entrance euro 9,50 strictly cash only

Nice idea but poorly handled in my opinion. The place is not huge and there is no maximum number of people who can enter, I found myself almost stuck in the small corridors full of people. The butterflies are beautiful but even in this case there is no one in control, they were all touching the wings of the butterflies perhaps not knowing that damage is done to them by touching them and in fact some butterflies were on the ground and trying to fly without succeeding, risking being crushed . The price would also be affordable if the experience was more peaceful.

We came during the summer and the heat was pretty awful, especially because the greenhouse makes it even more humid. The price was also pretty high (9€) considering it's not that big and can be visited in 15-20 minutes.
However if you love butterflies and nature this visit is a must, as you will be able to see the butterflies up close and they will fly all around you, just a magical experience!
I recommend coming in colder months as you will not find the temperature too unbearable, and there will probably be fewer people, allowing you to sit on one of the few benches and enjoy the atmosphere 🦋💐✨

We wanted to go to the opera, but there were no tickets. When we passed the building we saw some men in vintage dress offering you resale tickets. We bought two to 60 euros each and were assured that they were good seats, in a box on the side of the stage. When we arrived they had no visibility at all. They were in the second row and nothing was visible. You had to stand to see only half the stage. The ticket cost them 16€ and they sold it to us at 60€ saying that they had bought it a long time ago. QUITE A SCAM. It was an agent of the tour bus company Hop on Hop Off who sold it to us

The greenhouse is located in the center of the city, the entrance and shops are chaotic and tiny. The flora is well cared for but as for the butterflies you have the opportunity to see some flying around, but for the most part they are dying on the windows. mine should only be done if you really have nothing left to see in Vienna.

This place is gorgeous. I spent about an hour here, looking at all the gorgeous butterflies, most of which were quite friendly. There were a lot of butterflies of different breeds, sizes, and colors. Some camouflage really well, so keep an eye out for them. The price is not bad if you spend a decent amount of time there, especially if you are a student or have any of the other discounts. I imagine it is great for family or friend outings, dates, photography practice, and more.

Very nice place however no control at all, too many people inside and nobody is checking what the visitors are doing…. Young children touching, killing the butterflies and parents do not care do not address teach, let them know that nobody can touch the butterflies! Sad to see the beautiful dying creatures.

It was quite full, only one cash register for the shop and entrance tickets. From the outside, the building looks much bigger than it actually is. The entrance fees are quite high, I spent about 30 minutes there and saw everything. Otherwise, I can confirm what the previous speaker said.

Unfortunately, we cannot give a better rating. The prices are unreasonable. There are butterflies with damaged wings everywhere, which is probably due to the many visitors who feel the need to touch the animals. Since there is no one there to check, it is unlikely to get any better. To attract the animals, there are cheap plastic containers with fruit that are right next to the paths, so that the animals are also at risk there. Overall, unfortunately, not recommended.
