Our butterflies
We bring a variety of wonderful butterflies, each flaunting their unique shapes, colours, and patterns! Watch the kids' faces light up as they feed, admire and interact with our fluttery friends! Whether it's the lively Wanderers, graceful Eggflies, or enchanting Blue Tigers, each butterfly offers a magical experience waiting to be discovered!
Our butterflies aren't just guests—they're part of our family. We ensure they come from local, ethical sources and receive the utmost love and care.
The Butterfly House
Our mobile Butterfly house is beautifully decorated and large enough for ~5 kids at the one time. It is mess free and very easy to assemble and dismantle. It should only require 10-20 minutes at the very most. Our staff will take care of this!
The enclosure can be set up indoors or outdoors provided the space accommodates for it. We recommend a 4x4m space and a ceiling height of >3m.
What we do
Whether you're looking to treat your little ones to a magical party, bring classroom learnings to life with our immersive incursions, or amaze your patrons, we have the perfect package for you!

Don't hesitate to reach out and discuss how we can create something magical together!

-
Can the enclosure be set up indoors?Of course, we just need a 4x4m space at least a 3m high ceiling!
-
Is there butterfly themed merchandise which can be purchased for take home gifts?Yep! Check out our party bags under "packages".
-
How many kids can be in the enclosure at once?To ensure all kids get the most out of the experience and so that the butterflies aren't overwhelmed we recommend ~5 at a time. With larger numbers we simply cycle groups through to ensure everyone gets a go!
-
How much time should be set aside for setting up?The enclosure is really easy to set up and should only take at most 30 minutes to setup/dismantle with no mess! Our staff will take care of it all so you can sit back and enjoy the event for yourselves!
-
Is the enclosure weather proof if it happens to rain?The enclosure is water proof so in the event it rains you can still enjoy the live butterfly experience. Also, if outdoors the enclosure is bolstered to the ground either by pegs or weight. In saying this, in the event of extreme weather the enclosure outdoors may not be appropriate.
-
Is it safe for the kids to touch the butterflies?Of course, butterflies are harmless! If anything, interacting with butterflies teaches the kids the vital skill of being gentle.
-
Is there an educational element to the experience?As part of the experience we have two staff inside of the enclosure with kids. There they provide some education on the butterflies such as their life cycle and anatomy during their time in the enclosure.
-
What staff is provided for the event and what experience do they have?It depends on the size of the event! Typically for birthday parties we bring a single staff member. For larger events such a council events we generally bring two! All of our staff are very friendly and have a working with children certificate!
-
How far are you prepared to travel?We are flexible, although if the event is particularly far we will implement a minimum amount of hours. If this applies to you we're happy to chat!
-
Are the butterflies well looked after?The butterflies are a part of our family so we make sure all of our butterflies are ethically sourced and looked after in the best possible conditions!
