About Butterfly House & Aquarium
Live butterfly & aquatic animal exhibits. Attraction with hundreds of active butterflies plus sea life displays, including a touch pool.
💬 What Parents Say
- Rent a butterfly feeder when visiting the butterfly house - it's an affordable add-on that significantly enhances the experience by allowing butterflies to land directly on flowers you're holding for up-close viewing
- Check ahead before visiting as touch pools and touch tanks may have variable closure schedules - call to confirm these interactive experiences are available on your visit date
- Plan 1-2 hours for your visit as this is a smaller attraction - combine the butterfly house and aquarium sections to maximize your experience in a compact timeframe
- Use membership discount codes when ordering food at Roar Café and place orders ahead to skip lines and save money on dining
- This venue is ideal for young children ages 5-6+ who will enjoy interactive elements like the butterfly feeder activity and sea creature viewing, though some may need lower expectations if touch tanks are closed
