Walking by went in. A lot of items to buy. Loved the butterflies and the little colorful birds. Even the flightless birds. It was nice having them fly all over. Enjoyed, would go back.

Somehow I never got butterflies before. I do now. It's other-worldly to be surrounded by them in this jungle-in-a-greenhouse. You're in their space. Not just for the eco-friendly.

A lot more interesting than I thought it would be. Walk through a room loaded with butterflies of all varieties. The blue ones were particularly cool. Also many small birds. No hummingbirds though. Took our time and got lots of pictures. Would go again.

The Butterfly and Nature Conservatory is a small but pleasant walk through of a butterfly house. Lots of butterflies and flowers to look at and take pictures of. If you need a break from the hustle and bustle of Duval Street, this is a pleasant diverson

Awesome walk through of the conservatory. It's not overly huge so it didn't take all day, which was nice. My kids and I loved seeing all the butterfly's and even a friendly little turtle. Took lots of pictures. Well worth the trip

A lovely way to spend a few hours. The butterflies were very active when we visited and you definitely need to check for hitch hikers as you leave

Although this is a small building and venue, the wife and I were just amazed at the plethora of butterfly's and birds here. I think I lost 50% of my cell phone battery due to all the pics I took inside. We were pleased to see they offered a military discount. This was one of the highlights of our Key... More

You get through it real quickly. The butterflies are beautiful but I felt like I did not see too many varieties.
