About Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory

Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory is a year-round indoor tropical greenhouse in Cambridge, Ontario, about an hour west of Toronto. Visitors walk through a climate-controlled garden holding thousands of free-flying butterflies from around the world, alongside tropical birds, turtles and an axolotl exhibit, with live and mounted insect galleries. The outdoor grounds - a children's playground, a pollinator garden and a wildflower meadow - are open in the warmer months.

Visits are self-guided and typically take one to two hours. Timed tickets must be reserved in advance, including for children under two, and parking on site is free.
