Overview
One of Coffs Harbour's most unique family attractions, the award-winning Coffs Harbour Butterfly House is an immersive world where butterflies, dinosaurs, Wonderland-inspired art, gardens, live entertainment and imagination come together.
Wander through the tropical Butterfly Glasshouse, where hundreds of live Australian butterflies fly freely around you. Watch them sip nectar, rest in the sunlight and reveal their beautiful colours, patterns and delicate details.
Beyond the glasshouse, the adventure continues through a magical outdoor realm filled with surprises. Explore the Dinosaur Forest, visit the Dinosaur Laboratory and Hatchery, meet baby dinosaurs, and enjoy live dinosaur shows featuring some of the park's much-loved dinosaur characters.
Families can also discover Wonderland-inspired gardens, fairy displays, an outdoor maze, giant chess, quirky photo opportunities and hidden details woven throughout the attraction.
After your adventure, relax in the whimsical Twisted Wonderland Café, a playful and immersive space that feels as though you have tumbled down the rabbit hole. The gift shop offers butterfly treasures, keepsakes, toys and magical mementos to remember your visit.
Colourful, creative and full of wonder, the Coffs Harbour Butterfly House is a memorable experience for families, tourists, school groups and anyone who loves nature, storytelling and a little touch of magic.
