This was a very interesting place to visit. It was raining outside so we couldn't do the grounds but will if we ever get back. Tons of neat Butterflies everywhere but had a hard time getting pictures of the big blue ones. Most wouldn't hold still long enough to take a good picture!

Although interesting, it was not really worth the price IMO.

It was a rainy day so it was something to do until things cleared up.
It is a nice place to take photos, but after 10 minutes it gets old.

I thought the park and gardens around the conservatory were far more interesting.

Fun fun!  We really enjoyed this conservatory.  A butterfly even landed on my shirt for a while.  Wish we would have had more time to walk around the outside gardens.

There were so many beautiful butterflies.

When you first walk into the conservatory, your senses become overloaded.  There are butterflies everywhere & you are immersed in their world.  Everywhere you look there are lush plants filled with butterflies.  They say there are more than 50 different species of butterflies in this tropical environment, though perhaps I cannot distinguish them all as we saw ~15.

It's a great place for taking photographs... I must have taken about 50.

by far one of the most unique and amazing attractions. I've been to butterfly conservatories before in various places, one being the Bronx Zoo in NY. None compare to this. From the second you walk in your are overwhelmed by the sheer amount of butterflies! They are EVERYWHERE!!! You can really get up close and personal to them. One even landed on Chris' head for a while. It was amazing to see all the different kinds and how they moved around. They had a very interesting are set up with actual butterflies and cocoons undergoing various stages of metamorphosis. Fascinating!! I could have spent hours just sitting and watching! They were also many different species of plants/flowers growing. One hot pink plant called Chenille was so beautiful and like nothing I had ever seen before, it looked even more amazing with butterflies on it!

I love this place. Its a great learning experience for kids, staff is really nice. There's huge blue butterflies that tend to go straight for peoples heads (scared my sister - 1 at the time) there are more than enough photo opportunities. Very nice and a must when visiting, the gift shop is pretty awesome too, I also noticed that they weren't that outrageous on pricing.  Should hit the Botanical Gardens before and after too.

I can say with complete heterosexuality that I like butterflies.  I know
that they flit around and look pretty and stuff and that most people
would think that a guy who likes butterflies is a little light in his
loafers, but I'm not, so lay off!  The Niagara Butterfly Conservatory is
really on of the must see sights in Niagara Falls.  The room is not very big, imagine
a big tall green house, but inside are more butterflies than you can
imagine in a sorts of shapes and sizes.  There is a path you follow that
takes you through the treed tropical grotto and as it winds it way it leads you past
several plates of fruit where dozens of butterflies are feeding and posing for photos.  The really
neat thing about the butterfly conservatory its that you get to see the butterflies
right up close and most likely one will land one you.  I definitely
recommend the butterfly conservatory to anyone visiting Niagara Falls,
because you can only look at falling water for so long and then you need
something else to look at.

The Butterfly Conservatory far exceeded my expectations -- it was an absolute blast. There are butterflies, in all sorts of colors, everywhere. They fly around you, they land on you, they land on other people who don't notice...  As you can imagine, this leads to plenty of great photo opportunities.  Once you're done wtih the Maid of the Mist, etc., head here.
