I did not want to go, but my sisters and mom did so I played along and happily went. I LOVED it! Went through twice. Just beautiful and peaceful. Butterflies EVERYWHERE. Very active! Would highly recommend Free parking on one side of the building, paid in the other. Gift shop too is neat and everyone working is so helpful. They sell postcard stamps too.

You must visit this awesome facility in Key West! From the moment you walk in until the moment you leave, you will be completely happy to be able to experience so much natural beauty loving cared for by an amazing staff! And you can even return later in the day for another visit with your receipt! We lingered quite some time, walking clockwise and counterclockwise with ease (October is a great time to be in the Keys). We learned about the process of getting the butterfly larvae, the lifecycle of the butterflies as well as hearing about the resident flamingoes and birds! This is a bucket list item in Key West for sure!

My husband wasn't really bothered about going but I dragged him along, he absolutely loved it. It's like entering a different world! So many different species of butterflies and moths flying around, plus so many birds I had only ever seen on photos. We took over an hour walking slowly around admiring it all. There's plenty of seating too to rest and take it all in.

Wasn’t sure why this was rated so high on all the travel forums… now I’m sure. What a special place. So many beautiful butterflies in a lush, tropical garden. We could easily have spent far longer than we did.

Wow, this was amazing and absolutely a must do. When you enter the conservatory you are immediately surrounded by hundreds of butterflies flying all around you. Every direction you look there is more. The plants are gorgeous. We also got to see flamingos, turtles and birds! The staff was so friendly and informative.

Ahhh finally I have made it to this beautiful Key West butterfly garden! After many trips that the timing just didn't work out, I had it as our first stop this time. I see some people in the reviews commenting that it is small or not worth the cost. I will say that it is an outdoor but enclosed garden, and the entire path which winds three times is short, but it is highly concentrated. Come and watch the butterflies living their best life, feasting on fruit plates and flying all over. When you are here you can feel the delicate but intricately designed wings of all the butterflies and at any time there are up to 1500 butterflies in the garden. We were also quite amazed by some birds who were building a nest inside of a bird house. The flamingos are cool, they seem to hang out in the stream. Beautiful species everywhere you look, and great exotic plants. Your ticket allows for multiple entries that day and we raced through the information gallery into the garden area. I suggest a return to that first room to digest it all and gain some insight, then another walk into the garden. Don't pass by the nursery, which shows where all of the chrysalises are. The garden hours are 9 - 4:30 and while it is beautiful there is so much to do here in this area and when visiting with the kids can really keep it moving! While I find the price is fair, I do wish they had a teacher discount or a family discount. Also in the area we visited the Hemmingway House and the Southern Most Point. I have a travel blog where I give itinerary suggestions and share planning details freely. Link is in my bio.

We’ve been to the butterfly conservatory in Phoenix, but we both agree that Key West surpasses that. Butterflies surround you as you walk in the Conservatory. If you’re a butterfly fan, you can get ideas of what they’re feeding them. Very interesting birds to see if you’re observant. The best gift shop for a little Christmas shopping. Don’t miss it!

Amazing conservatory of butterflies and birds. Go early in the morning to avoid the cruise ship rush. The museum also has a great gift shop with fun options for a souvenir to remember Key West.

Fantastic experience with so many butterflies & birds plus two beautiful flamingos! Walking through a lush rainforest like environment you’ll see so many brilliant colors on the butterfly wings. Lots to learn also if you take a minute to read all the information available. Cool gift shop that includes real butterfly display art pieces. Great visit for all ages.

The Butterfly and Nature Conservatory was recommended to us by a friend of my wife. So glad we did it. Price is reasonable. Experience was outstanding. The butterflies and birds were beautiful. We toured fairly early on Saturday morning in early November. The place was not overly crowded at the time of our visit which made it even more enjoyable. What we experienced was such a relaxing experience. I found myself feeling so at peace just standing quietly watching the creatures. The colors are just mind blowing. If I returned to the area I would do the tour again. Lovely gift shop was a fun walk though, also.
