Butterfly Jungle

Become immersed in the vibrant world of pollinators as you explore the Safari Park's Butterfly Jungle. Once a year, this aviary transforms into a world of color. As butterflies fly around you, snap amazing photos and experience wonder while discovering the important role butterflies play in nature.

This 20-minute experience includes nectar to offer the butterflies while you explore their habitat. Guides and wildlife care specialists will be available inside the Hidden Jungle aviary to enhance your experience throughout your visit. A separate admission ticket or membership is required for Safari Park entry.

Due to fire safety codes, we are limited to 5 carried infants (under the age of 1) in the Butterfly Jungle experience at the same time. To ensure a spot for everyone in your party, please reserve and/or purchase a space for each individual, including infants under the age of 1. Groups with infants under the age of 1 without a reserved or purchased ticket may be rescheduled to another time slot upon arrival.
