Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory

Welcome to The Niagara Parks Commision Butterfly Conservatory

Follow this link to the official Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory site.

A butterfly is the closest we will ever see to flowers in flight. Their meandering flight patterns seem to paint the room with colour. Exotic greenery and flowing water set the stage for the fluttering and soaring of several hundred butterflies.

Dozens of different species of butterflies move through the climate-controlled 1,022 sq metre(11,000 sq. ft.) conservatory.

Enjoy the butterflies as you make your way along a 180 metre (600 ft.) network of paths. In the Emergence area, watch as the butterflies make their way out of their chrysalides.

The Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls, Canada

There is a wide variety of foliage inside the conservatory, so the butterflies always have a source of food from the plants in bloom.

As you walk along the pathways, look closely and carefully observe the grace and agility of these beautiful creatures of flight. You might even catch a glimpse of them feeding, uncoiling their mouthparts to sip nectar from the colourful flowers.

The Butterfly Conservatory is located 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) north of Niagara Falls in the heart of the world-renowned Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens.

Just Outside: Visitors can meet some native butterflies in the outdoor Butterfly Garden, depending on weather conditions. This garden attracts many of the species of butterflies native to Ontario with plants such as Butterfly Bush, Purple Coneflower and Joe Pye Weed. Go beyond the outdoor Butterfly Garden and enjoy the 40 hectare (80 acre) Botanical Gardens.
