Butterfly Tampa

Butterfly Tampa offers a captivating nature escape where Florida’s native butterflies take center stage—alongside a fascinating array of insects, amphibians, and reptiles. Stroll through a vibrant garden filled with nectar-rich native plants, where butterflies flutter freely, creating breathtaking up-close encounters. Beyond the garden, discover interactive exhibits featuring scorpions, beetles, frogs, snakes, and more, offering a glimpse into Florida’s often-overlooked wildlife.

On weekends, don’t miss the magical butterfly release at 2 PM, where guests can watch newly emerged butterflies take their first flight into the garden. Whether you’re marveling at delicate butterflies in motion, exploring the secrets of camouflage in the insect and reptile displays, or simply enjoying the garden’s serenity, Butterfly Tampa promises a memorable adventure filled with wonder and wildlife.

Enhance your experience with our children's nature camps and hands-on workshops for adults, where nature enthusiasts of all ages can learn about butterflies, native plants, and conservation. Planning a special event? We also host private gatherings, including birthday parties, meetings, and more—making Butterfly Tampa the perfect backdrop for unforgettable moments.

Before you leave, be sure to visit our native plant nursery to pick up plants for your own butterfly garden and find the perfect nature-inspired gift in our gift shop.
