Perfect for a rainy day, or any day. Beautiful gardens, well kept creatures, great value plants and gifts for sale. Toilets and refreshments are at the Hydroplant visitor Centre next door (which is free and very informative, with hands on exhibits for kids too!). You can hold the butterflies, which will land on you once you get the hang of the sugar water. Plenty of room for all. The staff brought round some of the other bugs which you can also hold. We spent the whole morning here and I bought a buddlea to take home that is a special crossbreed found only here! Had a lovely couple of hrs exploring here. A little time in the hot and humid areas, followed by a little time exploring the outside areas. Lots of at various stages of life cycle. Lovely outside area to cool down in the gardens. Then repeat as many times as you like. Great experience, like no other! We were privelaged to see plenty of beautiful butterflies, different shapes, sizes and colours. Nice gardens to walk around and see nature, with additional caterpillar tent to see lots of creatures and pupas! Friendly staff, who were very knowledgeable and wouldn't hesitate to give lots of information on and caterpillars! I would 100% recommend a visit! Stopped off at the Butterfly House as the day's forecast was miserable and it did not disappoint! The staff were really friendly and very knowledgeable. The themselves were stunning, we'd definitely come back again as the experience of having on your hands is incredible! What a wonderful place! We have been staying about 20 minutes from here on and off for years and never realised it was there. It's the sort of place you could spend a long time in, even though it's not massive. Watching the butterflies, looking at the insects, spiders etc. Fascinating! Staff are lovely and clearly have a passion for their work. They will happily chat to you and share their knowledge. I have lung issues so the heat and humidity in the butterfly house could have been an issue for me, but I just popped out when I felt I was struggling, had a breather, then went back in again. It was definitely worth it. The garden area is beautiful as well, lots of lovely interesting plants and a peaceful place to sit. There's a cafe in the power station info centre...lovely tea and cake. Great views of the reservoir and dam and there are also picnic tables. We will definitely visit again. Such an amazing place! The staff are super nice and knowledgeable, it is so obvious they love their job (and what a fantastic job they do!). The are gorgeous. Free flying, and they even land on you. It was such a fantastic experience! Also, the insects and frogs were super cool, we got to hold some stick insects, etc. Honestly, not enough words, it really was amazing! Nice place to visit while in the area. The are so beautiful and may land on you. Temperature in the room is about 30 C. There is a lovely little flower garden with flowers to smell and you can also buy some. Second time visiting and was just as good if not better than the first. New poly tunnel at the back now housing the caterpillars. All staff are amazing here and so friendly and knowledgeable. 5 🌟 Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
