Reviews for Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory in Cambridge, ON

Lovely place to spend a relaxed couple of hours. It has some great ?walls? for photographs . Just to walk around and be... surrounded by flashes of brilliant jewel colours is like a painting come alive. The rooms with the glass cases have all sortsof creepy crawlies and very much alive! Endless variety of mounted butterflies and a wealth of information. It was our firsttime here and we had a wonderful time and a very enjoyable afternoon. There was a wedding event taking place that day so theCafe was booked, and we didn?t get to try anything there. There is also the customary gift shop . Definitely worth it. Read more

Went for the first time with my parents for Mother's Day, it was lovely visit! Beautiful butterflies in a tropical climate room,... surrounded by lush plants, chirping birds, and even some fish and a turtle in the small pond in the centre of the room. As youwalk around the circular pathway, there are benches, info plaques, butterfly feeders, and some small display tanks. The room wassmaller than I expected, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much there still is to see. Along with the main butterfly area,there are two additional galleries with live and preserved specimens of interesting insects, bugs, arachnids, and amphibians, aswell as preserved specimens of butterflies and moths. Happy to recommend a visit, especially if you like nature and science.With the bubbling creek and waterfall over the pond, even though it was sometimes busy, it still felt relaxing and peaceful,like being in a little slice of the forest in the city. Plus you get to see/learn about bugs and other creatures - what's moreto want? Read more

It's a very nice place to spend a couple of hours of quality time with family and friends. The facility has two sections. One... section has few exhibits in the glass enclosures and another section has a tropical garden with all the live butterflies flyingaround. It also has a few very cool birds. Overall it was a very good experience. Read more

Great place for a fun family outing! Lots of beautiful butterflies to see and doesn't take very long to go through. We casually... walked around and stopped from time to time and it only took us about 45 minutes, which was the perfect amount of time for my 5year old! Read more

Great place to bring the family. Wear something bright to attract the butterflies on you! Kids will love this place!! Cool... displays of bugs and a small gift shop. Not sure if the cafe is open yet, but the family had lots of fun! Roughly takes about anhour to go through the whole place. Read more

Came here with my wife and 5 year old. We absolutely loved it. The insect area is very underrated with great information from... the nice lady in there, Avery. The butterfly area itself was beautiful. Also, keep in mind it's very warm for the butterfliesso when the lady says the coat room is down the hall, it's a good idea to listen and do that. There's also a cafe inside whichis surprisingly very affordable, however, if you don't eat animals, not many choices. I'd allow about an hour to see everythingin here. We budgeted a bit more time but that wasn't necessary. Unless you plan on eating there. It was very cool though, adefinite stop on the way to Toronto or anywhere in that area. 5/5. Read more

This place is such a nice escape in the Canadian winter. It is also really good place for families and dates! The garden has a... nice cute path that lets you see a lot of different butterflies. I really liked how they had descriptions of butterflies outsideof the garden and that gives you a more educated outlook when you see them. Read more
