Sunandita Das
★★★★★4 months agoWe visited this place in late March. It has three domes, two of them are air conditioned and one is not, though we still found it quite comfortable. There are seating areas to rest in between walks. There were many beautiful butterflies of all sizes, though we were hoping to see a few more. The kids enjoyed it a lot, and overall it was a pleasant experience spending time together as a family. We used an Entertainer 1+1 offer for two entries and purchased one additional ticket at the counter for AED 50.

★★★★★2 months agoThis place never stops wowing you. The butterflies are literally everywhere, fluttering around so freely that it feels like you’ve stepped into their home. They sit around you, twirl past you, and follow you almost everywhere you go. I’ve visited multiple times with family, friends, and kids, and every single visit still feels magical. Entrance, has a quick introduction about butterflies, their habitat, and their journey of life. It makes the whole experience even more special and enjoyable. Amazing place to visit for both kids and adults.
