While the butterfly section is small it is magical. People need to be careful where they walk as butterfly's can even be resting on the ground. Saw a gorgeous Cairns birding butterfly, just beautiful. There is also a maze and dinosaur show foe the kids and cafe that serves delicious scones n jam and made to order wraps and sandwiches.
Went to the Butterfly House at Sawtell today with my two grandchildren. I haven't been for a couple of years and there have been many great additions. We love the butterfly enclosure and the playground area outside the Alice in Wonderland themed cafe.
The amenities are clean and even have dinosaur toilet paper holders.
We watched the Pinkie baby dinosaur show which was great and all the kids joined in the dancing.
There are peacocks wandering around the gardens.
Had a nice coffee too.
Definitely a fun way to spend a few hours while visiting Sawtell.

My husband and I thought we'd spend a morning here. And what an absolutely beautiful morning we had. From the divine scones in the cafe to the extremely informative butterfly keeper and everything in between, it was 5 star all the way. A top class experience and so much fun was had by us both.....thank you.

The lady who was at the front counter was very friendly and funny. Our boy enjoyed the dinosaur shows. The butterflies were hiding out, but we did see some of them, and the cafe was lovely and quaint.

If you are interested in knowing facts about butterflies then this is a place to visit. We really enjoyed our visit. The ticket prices are on a bit higher side. There is a cafe that serves good food but again the prices might seem a bit higher. Ample parking is available on-site. Overall, a nice place to take your kids in Coffs Harbour.

I recently visited the Coffs Harbour Butterfly House and had a good experience overall. The vibrant array of butterflies was truly captivating, creating a serene and enchanting atmosphere. The facility is well-maintained, providing a suitable environment for these delicate creatures to thrive.

The highlight of the visit was undoubtedly the opportunity to observe the butterflies up close and personal. The variety of species is impressive, and their vibrant colors make for a visually stunning display. It's a unique and educational experience that could be particularly engaging for children. The staff members were knowledgeable and eager to share insights about the different species, adding value to the visit.

However, the overall size of the Butterfly House might be a bit limited for some visitors, and those seeking a more extensive collection might find it relatively small. Additionally, the entrance fee seemed a bit on the higher side, considering the size of the facility. While it's understandable that maintaining a suitable environment for butterflies requires investment, the pricing could be a deterrent for some visitors.

On the positive side, the Butterfly House provides a peaceful escape into nature, and the educational aspect is commendable. It's a great opportunity for families with children to learn about these fascinating insects. The onsite cafe is a nice touch, offering refreshments and a place to relax after exploring the butterfly habitat.

In conclusion, the Coffs Harbour Butterfly House offers a delightful experience, especially for families and nature enthusiasts. While there are some areas for improvement, the positive aspects, such as the variety of butterflies and knowledgeable staff, make it a worthwhile visit for those interested in the world of butterflies.

Took about 45 minutes to view entire place.

The shows available to watch catered more to little ones than my teens.

Was not a fan of the scones with jam and cream from cafe, herbal tea was fine.
