Yes, Go! - It was great. It’s not a big facility but really fun. So many butterflies, birds, koi and plants. I’d go again!

Fun Garden for All Ages! - Went this last weekend with my partner and some friends. We were in town for just a day from Washington state. The butterfly garden was beautiful, and we loved looking at all the insects as well. Beautifully maintained! Heads up, they keep the garden itself warm for the butterflies so don't go inside with a jacket on! You'll be sweating!

Butterflies Everywhere – So Coolio - Such a chill and beautiful spot! The Victoria Butterfly Gardens totally surprised me — it’s warm, tropical, and full of butterflies flying all around you. There are also cool little animals like turtles, frogs, birds, and even a flamingo just vibing. We made friends with one of the birds, Super relaxing to walk through, and there’s tons to see. Great for a date, family day, or just escaping the weather for a bit. It’s like a mini rainforest in there. Loved it!

Worth a stop before or after Butchart Gardens - This place was included on our Butchart Gardens Tour. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was really neat. There is a large tropical habitat where butterflies are flying freely. There are also some tropical birds: mc caws, parrot, flamingo. Beautiful tropical plants. It was a pleasant way to spend an hour and also learn things about butterflies and moths. There is also an exhibit of tropical insects: types of "stick insects" and leaf cutter ants that were interesting to look at. Nice gift shop.

Unexpected gem just minutes from Bouchard Gardens - Fabulous tropical birds, exotic insects, show-stopping Koi, large turtles and iguana, and an amazing variety of butterflies both in chrysalis and flying - across their full lifespan. Beautifully laid out, and easy to walk through, with knowledgeable staff.

Butterflies everywhere! - It was very informative and fun. It was a nice experience and the staff was kind. They had a place to hang your jackets because it was warm and humid inside.

Funny animal world - The area here is not large, and a horse ride to see flowers will be done in ten minutes. But because there are many small insects and frogs inside, not looking carefully is really not easy to detect. Although only staying inside for about an hour, it feels quite interesting.

Great attraction - A well done little place that is a nice way to spend an afternoon. It’s cool that there are other creatures, but just butterflies.

Butterfly afternoon - This was a fun experience. Was with the price. My only suggestion would be to sell the cups of nectar like other ones done e can have them land in us for a move closer and up personal experience. Maybe only offer to adults if worried about children.
