Please note that we do NOT have Butterflies!
Due to changes in international trade during the coronavirus pandemic, we no longer import butterfly pupae from abroad.
Local butterflies are not suitable for tropical garden exhibitions and as such, we are no longer a Butterfly park and have moved entirely to caring for rescued and surrendered exotic ex-pets.
Our tropical gardens are full of exotic rescue birds, and during your visit, you can also see hundreds of other animals that have found a second chance here at the sanctuary.
Come and visit us!
We offer an amazing and magical experience for children and adults alike!
Guests leave inspired and uplifted, with memories to cherish forever!
