Such a fun experience in Kuranda! We opted to do this instead of the Koala preserve or Bird sanctuary. It was so fun to see the whole process of their sanctuary, and a beautiful large area to walk through with butterflies. Not too crowded, just a lovely spot.
Thank you for the lovely review, 414allynh! We’re so pleased you enjoyed exploring the aviary and learning more about the butterfly life cycle along the way. It’s wonderful to hear the experience felt relaxed and uncrowded, and we really appreciate you choosing to visit the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary. 🦋
Butterflies were great to see at the Australian butterfly. My son had worked out skill to get butterfly to land on target!
The experience was very disappointing and the admission fee didn’t justify the experience. May daughter and I expected to see a wide range of butterflies but this simply wasn’t the case. It was a small area with many of the same species of butterfly. Our visit was short as a result. Sorry but we couldn’t recommend visiting the butterfly sanctuary.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your visit didn’t meet your expectations, particularly as you were hoping to see a wider range of butterfly species. As a working butterfly sanctuary, the species on display naturally vary throughout the year depending on breeding cycles, weather conditions, and the butterflies’ life stages. At certain times, you may see larger numbers of the same species, which is part of reflecting a natural rainforest environment rather than a static exhibit. We understand that this wasn’t the experience you were hoping for, and we truly appreciate your comments as they help us continue to improve how we communicate what visitors can expect. Thank you again for visiting and for sharing your perspective.
Two adults and one teen son had the best time. The butterfly's were very active and do land on you. I also payed to release a butterfly which had just came out of its cocoon. It felt wonderful to release a butterfly out into the house for everyone to enjoy. Love butterfly's and this was the best place. The staff are friendly.
Thank you so much for visiting and for sharing your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that your family had such a great time — our butterflies certainly love making new friends. 🦋 Releasing a newly emerged butterfly is a really special moment, and we’re glad it added something memorable to your day. Our team will be thrilled to hear your kind words too. We hope you’ll flutter back to see us again on your next Kuranda adventure!
What a lovely so and so peaceful. The butterflies are very active in the day time and they do land on you if you stand still. There are plenty of butterflies to see and admire. A very good compound.
Hi Charmaine, we are so happy that you had a wonderful time at Australian Butterfly Sanctuary and enjoyed the opportunity to see lots of amazing butterflies. Thank you for your review and we look forward to your next visit.
Went there while spending a day in Kuranda on a tour... There were very little different species there but ok just to spend a short time, nothing special but if u have kids , they will enjoy it.
Hi toycp, thank you for visiting the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary and sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear the kids enjoyed their time with us! Our aviary is home to over 1,200 free-flying butterflies, though their activity and visibility can vary depending on the weather and time of day. We appreciate your comments as we continue to improve and create memorable experiences for all our visitors.
I love butterflies! There was a great variety to see. Large and small. Even had some land on me. My truck was to wear something bright

Beautiful Butterfly House. We were disappointed there were no Ulysses Butterflies in the aviary like the information pamphlet shows. I still recommend going as the aviary is beautiful with other butterflies 🦋
What a beautiful place to go, even in the rain. So many beautiful butterflies! And when it's raining they are low down and easier to see on the leaves and in the feeding stations. The staff are friendly and very informative about butterflies! Highly recommend a visit.
