There's just something awesome about butterflies – they represent rebirth, natural beauty, quiet strength. At the Butterfly & Nature Conservatory, visitors get to walk among hundreds of exotic living butterflies and learn about butterfly habits and habitats. There are also many resident tropical birds.

 

Stunning, is the best way to describe it. What you may not know about these butterflies is that they were not gathered from the wild (Key West is as far south as you can get in the US) but it turns out that the captive breeding of butterflies is best suited for tropical climates like the Keys, and "overage" gets released into the wild to help culture our native trees, plants and shrubs.

 

It's a  magical, inviting and fascinating place. Hours are 9 a.m.– 5 p.m. daily. Admission $12, children 4-12 $8.50, seniors and military $9, children four and under, free. The Gift Shop offers a plethora of butterfly- and nature-related items.

 

And, the people of Key West voted the Conservatory the No. 1 attraction in Key West!
