Butterflies flying, something hypnotic. - A tropical garden in the middle of Vienna. Plants, water and many butterflies flying under a glass ceiling. Nice temperature, unique experience.

Fantastic - The garden is wonderful. It's tiny, but there are chairs around the place to sit and watch the butterflies fly. It's hot and humid inside. Outside there is Wardrobe Service, Bathrooms and Shop. Very good experience

Beautiful animals - A wonderful experience, which is not only interesting, but also emotional, for those who do not care about being chosen by butterflies. Some land on the visitors and it is beautiful to see what these creatures look like up close. Extrem cool. The entrance fee is moderate and absolutely justified. A souvenir shop that is lovingly designed holds great little things to not forget the visit

Nice structure, but very small - The structure, from an architectural point of view, is beautiful and the floristic part is varied and well cared for. Unfortunately the environment is small and the souvenir part is not specific. Many butterflies were blocked by the cold so you've seen a few of them. Interesting view from above through stairs hidden in a fake tree trunk that do not disfigure the setting.

It was really nice, many... - It was really nice, many different types of butterflies in sight, and the enclosure has many different tropical plants as well! The enclosure is really small, but there is no time limit, I did two rounds of it and was able to enjoy the butterflies for longer. Sadly, there was no film in display. It would also be nice if more info on the plants was available!

Cute. - The price is excessive, the route is very short and not worth what you pay. Beautiful some types of butterflies but disappoints expectations

Few butterflies - I was disappointed by the experience, I had already done something like this in another place and I liked it much more! The ticket costs 10€ but it's too much for what you see... or 4 butterflies, the greenhouse is beautiful but mainly go to see the butterflies. I understand that January may not be the ideal time but then I would lower prices! With so many butterflies it would have been very nice! Personally I would not recommend it.

Customer Service Viator Indecent - I bought the ticket on Viator, the wrong time ticket, we arrive and the museum has been closed for hours. I write to support and they reply that they will take my practice in hand soon!? I'm going home tomorrow, other than soon. Indecent service.

I never managed to go to... - I never managed to go to this activity because I had pre booked two tickets via Viator for the history museum in Vienna,which where both fake “skip the line”.I had to wait in the line to exchange them for real tickets and then in a line to scan them so I can get in the museum.This info was nowhere on the tickets I paid for.So I never managed to go to this on time though i had paid for it. Don’t book tickets via Viator it’s a scam.
