This place is simply magical. I could have stayed there for hours just observing the butterflies & birds. I wish the facility was bigger and had more areas where you could sit and take it all in. A blue Morpho butterfly landed on my shoulder and stayed there for almost 10 minutes as I walked around.

I loved our visit to this small conservatory. There was a small variety of butterflies in the conservatory but I loved the tropical birds so much more. The birds were so colorful and I had never seen any like them before. The flamingos (Rhet and Scarlet) were also entertaining as Rhet was courting Scarlet with lots of talking and feather waving displays.

Visited twice now. Just gets better. So many butterflies it's amazing. At the very south end of Duval street. Recommended this place to a friend whom loved it. Great gift shop. Even some birds in the green house. Very busy.

On Duval Street, between United St and South St, is the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory. It is a calm, quiet oasis after all the crowds and busy-ness on the streets. On the way in I thought the admission was a little pricy, but it was so worth it! Walking through the double air-lock doors was like going into another world. Butterflies were flitting everywhere! They share the space with several species of tropical birds and even some turtles. Relax and enjoy.

This place was so cool. Butterflies and birds, and a pair of flamingos as well. Beautiful butterflies. They have a video informative section before you enter and when you leave they make sure no butterflies are on you as one stuck to my husbands shirt. The gift shop is where you exit. Worth the stop in the keys. Just a reminder its hot in there along with the keys weather outside but still a great stop.

I can't say enough nice things about this place! We all had an amazing time here! It was so beautiful and magical. The butterflies are stunning! Beautiful gift shop and the associates working there are all very nice. I wish I had seen this the 1st day we were down as you can visit it all day. Our hotel was across the street at the Southernmost which is walking distance.

What neat experience. Plan on at least a full hour to go through the exhibits and the butterfly area. We have a butterfly farm near us in Encinitas - but nothing like this place. A must stop when in Key West

It was a wonderful experience visiting this place. The Conservatory not only has many different species of butterflies, but also has many local flowers, plants, two flamingos, turtles, and many beautiful birds. The staff there are very friendly and knowledgeable, answering any question you may have. It does get crowded, so go there early. I bought my ticket online, which came with two dollar discount.

a must visit. You enter a room with lots of mounted butterflies & an excellent movie on butterfly growth & feeding. You then enter a tall glassed room at 80 degrees & 80% humidity. It is filled with over 100 various butterflies flying around you & often landing on you. They are feeding on plates of fruit, watermelon, banana, etc. There are also small birds & two pink pelicians. The room is filled with lots of plants 7 flowers. There is limited seating but you might sit or just stand to take it all in for 1/2 hour or more. It is an amazing experience.

A beautiful experience. The conservatory is small and doesn't take much time to walk through. Very nicely layed out pathway to follow. Birds, fauna and of course the butterflies!!! Very interesting "lab" windows to watch the emerging new butterflies.
