The conservatory is a part of the Niagara Parks system, and it takes just over an hour to get to the butterfly house from the City of Buffalo.

Inside the conservatory, you'll be greeted with tropical plants and warm temperatures, perfect for a pleasant afternoon.


You can witness these beautiful creatures feeding, flying, and even mating as you wander throughout the conservatory.

Just be warned... if you're wearing bright colors or floral patterns, the butterflies are very likely to land on you! If you're not interested in a special visit from these fluttering friends, you might want to re-think your visit.

This magical butterfly house is a great spot to hone your photography skills. With subjects as beautiful as these, you simply can't go wrong!

The pathways in the conservatory will lead you to what is called the "Emergence Window," an area of the butterfly house where the butterflies leave their cocoons and dry their wings before taking their first flight. It's truly an amazing sight to see!
