This was a fascinating place and I learned SO MUCH about butterflies but the only downside, to me at least, was there weren't enough live 🦋 butterflies in the rainforest. I was hoping to see twice as many. (Maybe it's just the wrong time of year) But again, the museum itself was really well done and I'd definitely go back again. They have 9 million species of moths and butterflies, the largest collection in the world.

If I could rate this higher than a 5/5, I would! This place is exceptional. I’ve visited other butterfly exhibits that I thought were very nice, but none of those were this amazing. You can expect to see unique blooming tropical plants, a colorful variety of butterflies flitting about, & tiny quail & other birds scurrying among the sounds & sights of waterfalls. The display outside the butterfly rainforest was amazing as well, showing thousands of species of butterflies & moths from various areas of the world. A portion of the museum is free, & we took advantage following our butterfly tour! Every display was very well done!!

Cool to see the butterflies. Free for UF students. Definitely something to see with your student if In the area. It’s surrounded by several other museums most are free have to pay to see this and one other total cost for both $19 in state and $22 put of state. If looking for an afternoon to fill I recommend this. We were there for 1-2 hours.
