Very expensive for 2 species of butterflies in a room. If i knew before, i would avoid visiting.Not really worth it.....

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.

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.

full of surprised in midle of Vienna in this winter christmas season was so cool visting that place full of color and warm

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 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.

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.

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.

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

Very very small, do not expect a visit more then 10 minutes. Because of the size also very crowded here.

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.

If you like butterflies (my wife does), this will be worth checking out. It is quite humid inside (I can only imagine in the summer), but it is a fun experience to have butterflies buzzing around you and sometimes even landing on you. There were a number of species, so plenty to see and photograph. The only part that bugged me was seeing some of them badly injured. Whether natural or because of guests handling and harming them, I'll never know, but the staff did not do a good job of enforcing the signs that told people not to handle the butterflies.

It was very crowded. The butterflies were nice to try and see but the crowds were not so much fun. The place is small. It’s just hard to see the magic in such a tight space.

It’s a fun and different way to spend an hour or two with a lot of butterflies in a real tropical garden. Great for kids and families but also for photographers and nature loving people 🙂 Easy to find, close to other attractions in Vienna. There were a lot of different butterflies even though it is winter. There is also a lovely pond with koi fishes. Great place for taking pictures. Adult ticker is 7e. We went there just when they were opening at 10am, great timing, not a a lot of people.

Schmetterlinghaus is lovely to visit on the cold Viennese days. At €7 I think it’s kind of pricey. But inside is very beautiful and there are good photo opportunities with many butterflies. I would recommend doing this early in the afternoon. Their hours are restrictive, they’re open between 10-14:45 generally. You can hang up your coats and bags outside because it’s very hot and humid inside. I would recommend going for something to eat in the Palmenhaus afterwards.
