Horniman Butterfly House

It's so small for the cost of 1 adult and child. We were in there for less than 10 mins. It's ridiculously hot and way too humid. Where in the world do these butterflies come from that it needs such humidity? I was born in Trinidad and Tobago and we have loads of butterflies, some of which I saw in there and it's no where near as humid. There was also hardly any butterflies and not a wide variety either. Very disappointed.

Just fantastic! Friendly staff beautiful butterflies and an amazing place to make memories! Please visit and see for yourself.

Beautiful selection of a variety of butterflies and tropical plant life in a small orangery/greenhouse type building.
It is very humid and hot in the enclosure, incase people didn't know, and they have a no pushchair policy.
Had a lovely time getting my little girl to point out how many different butterflies she could find.

It was wonderful to be amongst nature of beautiful butterflies 🦋, so stunning never seen so many in a short space of time and location. Was humid in there but knew that in advance also friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely environment to show kids around, worth noting it really doesn't take long and is up the hill from the main museum area.

What a fantastic little place. Beautiful butterflies living among some beautiful tropical plants. Absolute joy to see them and watch them flying around and eating. Book your ticket at the main museum desk or if not too busy they sell tickets directly at the butterfly house.

The butterflies here are beautiful, it's very warm inside so remove your jacket before you go in. There was a volunteer here too with lots of information about the butterflies

Such a wonderful oasis to be surrounded by so many butterflies. My toddler reads 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' every night before bed so it was such a treat for him to see all the butterflies. It is quite warm so be prepared to wear layers. There's also a buggy parking space just right outside the house. You must pre-book tickets and times are allocated for 15 minutes which is enough time. We actually went over but it wasn't particularly busy so it was fine.
