My wife and I visited on a drab day in May. The butterfly area really does produce wonder - so many of them and so many different kinds. Can anything by more delightful than a butterfly landing on you?! I didn't have my kitchen scales with me, but I had no trouble bearing the weight, and enjoyed looking at it... More

Great place to take the children and anyone interested in nature. Hundreds if colourful butterflies flying around. They may even land on you. Something different, interesting and educational.

I could have stayed all day! Having visited Stratford on many occasions I seemed to have overlooked the Butterfly Farm. Nevertheless, it is a wonderful experience with beautiful and vibrant butterflies. If you are lucky you end up with the flapping beauties landing on you! An added bonus was the quails and their chicks... If you thought quails are small... More

Wasn't expecting it to be quite so big or varied. Hundreds of butterflies, aswell as little quails, an iguana and assorted insects....only downside was a lack of info - no info on the types of butterflies, you'd need to take a book in, and the other "free range" animals weren't described anywhere.....good fun though, and all the kids running about...

Quite expensive but the butterfles were amazing and very colourful. The insect section looked a bit neglected in places - sometimes difficult to see if glass cases were occupied or not - that aspect could do with improvement.

I visited here yesterday with my friend for my 25th Birthday as I wanted to do something a bit different and have always loved butterflies,so can't really comment from a parent/family perspective but for what it's worth... I know other reviewers have said that potential negatives are the tropical heat being a tad overbearing and the fact that butterflies will... More

I have been to butterfly farms in the past, but I was totally unprepared for the vast number and range of butterflies in this collection. They also have an insect house and a special section for pupae where you can see butterflies emerging from their chrysalis. Fascinating! Beware. If you don't want insects (butterflies) landing on you, don't go!

I went to this Butterfly farm with my wife, I had been before however this was her first time. It did not disappoint. This is a great place to visit especially with children. The butterfly is not in cages, they are flying around and sometimes they land on you. Keep your eyes open and take a camera. It is very... More

We went with a double buggy and a 1 and 3 year old. The butterflies are fantastic with lots of stunning varieties big and small. It becomes very clear as soon as you step through the door - and step carefully - that the sheer number meant you were going to be landed upon frequently. This became a bit too... More
