The Butterfly Place is a wonderful place to view New England butterflies and tropical species from all over the world!

This magical place is a memorable way to experience butterflies closely. When you walk in you are greeted with a cute souvenir store. As you first enter the sanctuary, you watch a quick video about the life cycle of a butterfly. You can also explore different exhibits and learn about different butterfly species. Then you emerge fully into the beautiful sanctuary.

Walk the winding paths, sit on some benches and observe the different types of butterflies that are there. Watch butterflies feed on flowers and also see the different types of birds who are also in the exhibit. Enjoy the birds running and flying by as you observe the koi fish swimming in the pond. There is staff available for all of your questions. 

The temperature inside is about 80 degrees so plan accordingly. The parking is free, and the experience is accessible for all abilities.

The Head of Accounting and Boston Ambassador, Jenny has been living in Boston for almost 10 years. Before Boston, she lived in Washington, DC for 8 years, and previous to that grew up on Long Island, NY. Along the way, she spent a few months in Amsterdam with her family biking all around and exploring that beautiful city! Jenny has always enjoyed being active - from organized sports to jogging, and of course, being in the garden as much as possible when the weather is cooperative. She tries to include her children in all of her active hobbies. With two toddler boys, ages 3 and 5, she and her husband spend their time discovering new places and things to do in the New England area. Spending time outdoors in all types of weather and encouraging her children to love all seasons is very important to her - and so is helping and encouraging others to do the same. Jenny and her family love spending time at the beach, traveling, taking walks and hikes, and of course, finding new playgrounds!
