About
Using the experiences lived with the periodic butterfly house from Odorheiu Secuiesc, we opened the first permanent butterfly house in Romania, at Praid, Harghita County, on the spring of 2012. The building, created for this very purpose, is divided into two parts and is house to a reception area that communicates with a gift shop and to a so called "flying space" with a tropical microclimate that

It's a great place to visit in Praid. It's located close to the salt mine and you can spend some time there admiring the beautiful exotic butterflies, the nice souvenir shop and you can also have a drink outside. Highly recommended!

After visiting Praid Salt Mine, go to visit the Butterfly House. The place is dog friendly and you can see some beautiful exotic butterflies. Being there, you can enjoy a good coffee or natural juice.

I would definitely return!

Absolutely beautiful! It is rather small but that is just fine. There are so many butterflies. They are so beautiful and they are all different sizes. They were some huge ones! There are some benches to sit and watch and it is so peaceful and delightful. The butterflies are everywhere. They also have an incubator where you can see the cocoons and see new butterflies. If you hold steel for a while, the butterflies will land on you! I was wearing red and a ton of butterflies landed on me. Seems like red is a good color to wear in the butterfly house. It really was a delightful visit. We stayed for about an hour but that’s because we like to sit and watch things. Many people were coming and going. They also have a little gift shop that has really great things.

Kids will love this
Great destination for families with (small) kids.

Parking available at the spot, no need to park and pay anywhere else around, we didn't know this beforehand.

The building is just as fun and inviting as the interiors.

Owners are pleased to receive guests, they greet you with a smile, beautiful entrance tickets and a small boutique before entering the world of butterflies of all sizes and colors.

Beware not to step on them, as they are everywhere and instruct your kids not to either as tempting as it could be for them.

Depends on the person
Family
We went there with a 7 year old boy in order to experience something different. He has never had a special interest in butterflies. In fact, he thinks zoos are boring unless it is a petting zoo. So I didn't expect him to like it too much. Indeed, the moment I told him he cannot touch the butterflies he lost all interest in the place. But then he figured out that he can play with the butterflies without touching them by picking up the fruit slices they were feeding on. Afterwards, we must have spent an hour inside this small room (which you can see in 2 minutes) with him looking at and studying butterflies. It is actually one of his most vivid memories from Praid, it impressed him even more than the Salt Mine. So what can I say, give it a try. You never know what might happen.
