Tropical Butterfly House

Explore our family run zoo with over 142 species to discover here at the Tropical Butterfly Wildlife Conservation Park! From marvellous minibeasts and mammals to spectacular birds and butterflies! Discover our award-winning Butterfly House and Bird House and experience the sensational sights, sounds and smells of a tropical rainforest buzzing with free-flying butterflies and birds and surrounded by wonderful wildlife ponds, waterfall and lush tropical plants.

Inside our tropical houses look out for caimans, turtles, armadillos and a captivating collection of reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates - see if you can spot our leaf-cutting ant colony passing by along the ant trail or our iguana's basking majestically on top of the waterfall! Our new Butterfly House, part funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, opened in 2023 and is a proud recipient of the BIAZA Gold Award for Horticulture 2024. Get ready for awesome animal-led adventures every day!

* There’s bite-sized fun for all the family when you purchase an animal feed bundle too! * Did you know a percentage of your admission at the Tropical Butterfly House Wildlife Conservation Park goes towards helping us preserve native species across the region - so with every visit you are helping to support local wildlife too! 5 acres of land with a sole aim to protect and manage native habitats and species – that’s everything from butterflies and bees, flowers and insects, wild birds, mammals and even red deer!

The wildlife park is also a haven for native wildlife and is home to harvest mice and red squirrels. Keep a look out for minibeasts in our wildlife ponds and along the nature trail. Can you spot the bug hotels and bird boxes set amongst our glorious grounds, where all flowers and foliage are planted to support habitats and encourage pollinators like butterflies and bees!

When you're feeling hungry, there’s treats for everyone at the Butterfly Café, the cool Big Red Bus or Lottie’s Coffee Lounge with its glorious outdoor seating area and stylish dining pods! * And thanks to our visitors, our PURO Fairtrade coffee and tea sales here at the park have also led to the purchase and protection of over 22 acres of rainforest, that’s over 5000 trees!
