    Recently I had the opportunity to get an amazing tour of the Butterfly Conservatory with Elora Crumbley and it was wonderful and unforgettable. She has a lot of knowledge and a passion for butterflies. She is sweet and dedicated. We really learned a lot and enjoyed every single part of the tour. Elora made it fun and simple. With her unique charisma and personality she invited us to enter the magnificent world of butterflies and their natural habits. I had the most beautiful experience and am looking forward to repeating it again. Thank you, Elora and Butterfly Conservatory for making my experience one of a kind.

    This is a very cool place! There are several rooms of live butterflies, flying around, or happily sitting on plants. They were beautiful, and included the blue Morpho, the owl eye, a monarch, and the transparent. There was also a frog habitat, and we got to see the poison dart frogs and the red-eyed tree frog. We also walked the rainforest trail, which was very nice, and spent some time in the tiny museum with wonderful displays of butterflies, moths, and beetles. The conservatory is a treasure--peaceful and uncrowded, with facilities that allow close encounters with beautiful, often elusive insects.

    Wonderful collection of butterflies, frogs and other rain forest creatures. We took a self-guided tour, assisted by staff working in the various areas of the facility. Experienced and knowledgeable staff who teach about what you see, but tour at your own pace and see things you find interesting.

    An excellent choice if you want to fill in some of the free time that invariably offers itself up when you are on vacation. Our family of 4 took about an hour or so to saunter through the place and ooh and aah over the various lepidoptera (see, I learned something!) in this place.
