THE TROPICAL GARDENS
CANADA'S FIRST LIVE BUTTERFLY DISPLAY

An Exotic Tropical Experience

Stroll among hundreds of free-flying exotic tropical butterflies and finches, and plan to visit our Bird Aviary & Water Gardens.

 

As an Ornithologist you'll be DELIGHTED...
As a Tropical Gardener you'll be in AWE...
As a Visitor you'll be AMAZED...

Imagine strolling through the Tropical Gardens filled with trees, plants flowers and butterflies from around the world. Enjoy rare tropical plants with the exotic aromas and flashes of color. Share the world of the butterfly as they fly, sip nectar, court or simply bask in the sunlight, showing of their glorious colours.They're everywhere... hundreds of them , all sizes, shapes and colours ranging from the Giant Atlas Moth (10" wing span) to the tiny Red Periot Butterfly (1/2" wing span). As they fly from flower to flower, they sometimes mistake people for flowers and alight on their shoulders, heads and arms searching for nectar.

Also outside is our Butterfly Garden.   Here you will find, and see, all the plants and shrubs you can grow to attract wild native butterflies into your own garden and enjoy your own summer garden delight.
