Coffs Harbour Butterfly House
Highlights
Overview
One of Coffs Harbour's most amazing attractions is the award winning Coffs Harbour Butterfly House.
The Butterfly House offers visitors the opportunity to stroll amongst hundreds of live Australian butterflies in an indoor subtropical rainforest setting.
Share the world of butterflies as they fly, court, mate, sip nectar or rest in the light showing off their fascinating colours and patterns.
Their outdoor Alice in Wonderland maze area will have you hunting for clues to answer our quiz. The colour maze will have all members of your family trying to work out the levels of difficulty.
Some new attractions to the Butterfly House since 2019 include a live Dinosaur show twice a day, a meet and greet with their 4 baby dinosaurs, a walk through their Dinosaur forest, see their Dinosaur Laboratory where they hatch new dinosaurs, and find their flying fairies. They also have some exciting dinosaurs hatching in their hatchery.
A memento of your visit, a gift for a special friend or a butterfly bargain can be found in the souvenir shop.
The café provides a beautiful setting to relax in and indulge in lovely homemade morning or afternoon teas or light lunches.
However you are entertained at the Butterfly House, you will love every moment of it as it transports you to a magical place, filled with dreams.
