I have always enjoyed taking my child here. It is small in the inside but I enjoy sitting on the bench by the pond and looking at butterflies and the plants. My son enjoys the butterflies, the tortoises and looking at the turtles in the outdoor pond. If we are lucky we see frogs too. It's quite calming and I have spent many hours just watching the butterflies and the fish in the pond.
Great place to take kids for an outing. Due to the short lifespan of the butterflies sometimes there won't be as many there as others, which was the case during our visit. It's also very warm inside (again, butterflies) so it might be a bad choice for people who handle heat poorly. There is a turtle pond around the side of the building, as well as tortoises, tarantulas (don't worry, they're in tanks), quail, koi, a bearded dragon and some other reptiles inside. The benches are terrible. They felt like they were going to break when I sat in them. Other than the benches it's a great place.
Butterflies where beautiful but
Not really worth the price. Need more birds and lizards like Victoria.
it was an interesting place lots of very nice butterflies flying all over the place. The gardens were cool, liked the carnivorous plants, and the turtles outside were cool. The entry fee was a bit high for what it was but this is BC so things are always going to be overpriced.
Overpriced. Felt like about 10 species of butterflies. About 4-6 terrariums boarded up (used to be animals in each of them?). Large turtle seemed to be exhibiting pacing behaviour. Liked adjacent orchid and zen displays. Agree with others that service personnel seemed rather disengaged.
If you pay double the admission you can go anytime for a year that way you will butterfly's as they is always more thru the year. I finally got some morphs in flight photo's very friendly staff and and well taken care of.
A must go attraction have your camera ready
This was way overpriced, even with the exchange rate. The butterfly room is very cool with tons of butterflies. The tortoises were really fun to see, especially seeing them walk around in the open. But the rest of it seems to be like someone's backyard landscaping, and nothing is identified.
It's exactly what you would expect from a place called butterfly world - a lot of different kinds of butterflies flying around. There's also an adorable tortoise hanging around the gift shop! Lots of turtles in the water too.
Alright lovely butterflies. inaccurate and harmful information about the tortoises. Tortoises to need to drink water, and have it available to them at all times. The red foot tortoise had extreme pyramiding on its shell, and spine looked to be a bit collapsed, pretty sure it had metabolic bone disease from poor nutrition and sunlight and humidity.
