Butterfly Gardens @ Middleton Common Farm

The place is very nice, the butterflies are big, good quantity and they are friendly. You can hold a butterfly, give them water from the small caps available inside or pick some fruit and they'll eat from your hand.

The place is very small and with 10-15 people it gets full. The temperature inside is like a sauna with a 43°C degree. You need to wear something fresh and go outside a few times to get fresh air. They allow you to go outside and return inside several times if you want!. There are a few tables outside and you can grab food or drink from a very small farm shop. There is also a portable toilet if you need it. The butterfly shop has some butterfly themed goods at very good prices (jewelry for children's, greeting cards and so on). They also have some plants at very good prices and even soil or coal.

I've read a review that says the parking only allows 5 cars but I went today and the parking is big, it can fit more than 15-20 cars easily.

It is a good small place to pay a visit and get the children happy holding a big butterfly.

Although a small holding, we spent a good hour here to see the many different species of butterflies. There are over 40 species and something over 1000 individual butterflies here. A wonderful and romantic afternoon with my partner.

Such a nice place to visit. Loads of butterflies. Nice little gift shop. Plants available to buy. Nice lunch area big field to play in. You can go in and out if the butterfly house as many times as you wish. What I would say is, bring a packed lunch as the shop wasn't massively stocked to cater. There is however oppertunity to buy snacks and drinks, lollies and organic produce which is nice. Was a lovely day out

I visited twice and it's always a great visit. Just to set your expectations it's a farm with a poly tunnel full of butterflies. With that out of the way, the butterfly tunnel has a pond and some tropical plants in it. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They do not limit you on time, so if interested you can stay all day. Beyond the butterflies there are fish, caterpillars and frogs in there. A word of warning. It is extremely hot there so don't wear too many layers. It can get very busy.

Great little attraction. Been a few times, such a good variety of butterflies to see, staff friendly and helpful. Was there for a children's birthday party where they had use of a marquee for activities and food too.

This place is wonderful. We were very lucky on the day we visited to see the newly emerged Atlas moths and the very short lived luna moths, but even without these 2 spectacular species the place was filled with all different butterflies of every colour imagined.
We spent a wonderful hour here with a break in-between to grab a drink and snack from the shop and cool off on the benches outside, because it gets quite hot in the tunnel with the butterflies.
We had a wonderful young lady looking after us called Beth who was incredibly knowledgeable and kind.
The facilities were all well maintained and clean, the toilet on site is a portable loo but it's spacious and very clean.
All in all I really think the butterfly garden is well worth a visit.

Such a beautiful experience.
My kids were so excited by their interaction with live creatures landing on their heads and hands. The climate inside the place is actually lovely, you can go in and out as many times as you wish on the day.
The whole energy of the environment and staff could not be faulted. what a true gem of a day out.
Well priced, unlike many other days out which are priced too high for the average family. I will definitely return sooner rather than later.

We had such a wonderful time with the butterflies this afternoon. My grandson was so chuffed to have a little butterfly friend on his finger he went round five times!
It was marvellous to be amongst them all, and the plants, pond and staff were lovely too!
