Frequently asked questions:
Can I pick up or touch the butterflies or animals?We ask that our guests not touch or feed the butterflies or any of the other critters. The butterflies are extremely fragile and can be damaged very easily. Please also watch your step as sometimes they are resting on the walk ways. We also ask that visitors do not pick flowers or any other plant foliage as we work hard to make our gardens look their best.
Do you sell butterfly kits?We do not sell butterfly kits. Here are some of our suggestions for where you can find them:

Can we take home any 'treasures' we find?All butterflies and/or parts must stay within the facility as per the CFIA, as they are not native to this region. All of our butterflies are imported from around the world. All plant material must also stay within the facility as it has come in contact with our imported butterfly species.
