Our 1 year old is obsessed with bugs, frogs and lizards so we knew we had to stop here. He loved it and actually made his daddy take him twice on the same day. The only downside for us was the cost of admission. They charged us for our 4 year old daughter who hates all nature and had a... More

Fun and interesting but a bit pricey as some have mentioned. We did enjoy it and the little bug scooters for the children along with pith helmets and magnifying glass was cool. Hall of mirrors although small was cool! Don't let your little ones run in there because nothing good happens! Trust me... The banyan tree bungee is cool for... More

I took my wife and two small children to the butterfly palace today, we spent about two hours there and the kids were entertained for the whole time. The exhibits at the butterfly palace are rather small, you could literally see and experience everything in under 30 mins if you so desired. But with little kids, there are a number... More

There are several things to do at the butterfly palace, but no one event there is spectacular. The mirror maze is smaller than average. The big exhibit is also small. The butterfly exhibit is very hot! The movie was interesting.

The butterflies are beautiful and the gardens are lovely. This is a very low key stop in Branson, just what you need to cool off and de-stress in the middle of the day.

Our three year old really enjoyed the butterflies and other attractions. The butterflies were very active when we went, in the morning. In addition, they landed on our three year old and that made it more fun for him. They have explorer hats and magnifying glasses for the kids and he loved looking through his "magnifying" to see the butterflies.... More

The actual area with the butterflies was... More
