Q:
What's the price of the ticket?
A:
My husband says he paid $20 each for adult tickets. We did not have any children with us so I cannot address the children prices! Check for senior prices if they apply! And... PS: so worth it! Go! It was wonderful!

Worth seeing, but do your best to scout around for a coupon. ( Full price wouldn't be much of a value in my opinion.)
Welcome - to the gift shop. I felt a little underwhelmed to walk in and find myself straight in the gift shop area. Push past all the butterfly merchandise and buy your ticket. Head upstairs to see the actual butterfly habitat. There were LOTS of butterflies and the little walkway provided places to sit and gaze upwards as well as lot of little dishes with sweet treats to tempt the butterflies to alight close to eye level so you could really get up close and see the little beauties. A handy plastified form was helpful in tracking how many varieties we had seen as we toured around.
I LOVED the mirror maze. It was really well done and we walked our way through no less than three times because we enjoyed the effect and hunt so much. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
Take a few minutes to also visit their little terrarium section and see their selections of rainforest animals. Of particular note to me where the eyelash gecko and of course the pretty teal chameleon. (He was happy that day! But I am told he can also be a black mood.)Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Laura G.MO, MO01Nov 12, 2023
This is such a cool experience! Not only did my kids absolutely love the butterfly experience, but they also loved the reptile room and the mirror maze!
If you have a kiddo who loves learn about reptiles, then stop by the exhibit and ask for Shelbie. She is so knowledgeable and so willing to answer questions and explain how things work. For my oldest, it was such a great opportunity! He spent nearly an hour looking around and talking with Shelbie about anything and everything reptiles!
Plus, the individuals working in and around the butterfly aviary were also amazing! They were all engaging with the kiddos and kept the energy level high. It was such a cool experience, and we will be back!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Tom L.The Plaza, Kansas City, MO7185Mar 29, 2024
Cool place, little pricey , but glad we did it. You can spend as long as you want and admission is good for three days if you want to come back.

Being inside the butterfly area was so peaceful and tranquil. It was a little crowded but overall good! Bridge in there says no more than 5 people so just be cautious since there are two points of entry. The butterflies were beautiful and attracted to the bright orange my husband wore!

If you love butterflies, this is definitely a must. The arm band gets u in for 3 days but must be wearing the arm band. Wear red if you want to attract the butterflies. There are beautiful birds, but they hude in the trees. They give u a flower to help attract them, and i learned to late that its best to tip it so the nectar is on the flower. We got there past the prime time and intended to return but didn't. So I didn't see the lizards.
Love they give small discount for veterans and gave me the same price. Much appreciated.
Watch wear you step ... the butterflies sometimes are on the ground. Its annoying enough that children touch the butterflies but i saw adults do it. I might have said dont touch them idiot.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - 1598229Jul 1, 2023
Butterflies are amazing and this Palace seemed to have them all! It's been years since I've been to a butterfly house... and this is definitely one of the top ones I've been to. We spent plenty of time wandering around trying to capture photos of the elusive blue butterfly (which never landed long enough to capture a good one) and even had some hitch hikers take a joyride around for nearly a half-hour.
The gift shop also has plenty to choose from for all price points. We picked up a couple small things for ourselves (we tote our house with us, so we can't fit much) and a Christmas gift or 3.
While the wrist bands are good for 3 days, we could only make it there one... though I'd gladly have gone back more than once if we could've made it fit our schedule!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Robert S.Chicago, IL172680873Oct 21, 2023
Oh, my God, this place was so much fun. We had a great time.
Very inform and very nice staff working here. The movies, the butterflies, the weather. Gosh it was just a wonderful experience. And your passes are good for 3 days, so you can keep going back. And seeing the butterfly again and again. A must see if you're in BransonHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Madison G.Dwight, IL052Mar 24, 2024
My almost 2 year old loved the mirror maze! We enjoyed seeing all the butterflies. Price wasn't too bad.

This place is great. The staff here are always friendly and we get a lot of enjoyment visiting every time I'm in Branson. Their tickets work for 3 days and we try to make 2 trips when we can. The butterflies are more active now and you do get a lot of interaction with the creatures. The pricing is around $28 and it's on par with attractions in the area. Would 10/10 recommend!

I absolutely love it here. The mirror maze was a bonus. It was so fun. The reptile section was pretty neat and tiny. I wish I watched the 3D video before entering the butterfly zone. The video was well made and very informative and entertaining. The butterfly zone was so beautiful. They really fly all around you, land on you, and just do their thing in there. There is corner where a man plays fairytale like music that was enchanting while you stare at all the butterflies flying. A bridge that you can cross to see from a different view as if you were in the rainforest on a hanging bridge. There's even 3 different types of birds. You just have to look. My favorite part was the little laboratory where they had various types of larvas displayed that I have never seen before. I got to see 4 of them hatch in the process. It was so beautiful. I got to meet a gentleman that was like the director and he answered all my questions and even told me amazing stories. It was so educational. I highly recommend and support this place.

This place is the 8th wonder of the world...I maybe exaggerating but I also love butterflies. I wasn't expecting for there to be so much to do here. First of all your ticket grants you access for 3 days!! I was amazed...not sure I've ever heard of that before unless it was an after hours special. We came the first day a hour before close and were greeted soon as we entered. The front desk staff was very friendly and told us where everything was located. We opted for the butterflies first which was an absolute joy. There were so many and few visitors so it was a blast having them flutter around us and land on the flowers. They were all so beautiful. While leaving and being checked I was shocked when one flew from beneath my purse lol...the lady was so quick to capture and release it back inside. We then visited the mirror maze and rainforest jungle. The mirror maze is incredibly fun and we got lost plenty of times. The second day we visited and brought my mother and we're able to explore everything. We visited the reptiles area which was cool. We also watched a movie about the monarch butterfly which was interesting. We played a butterfly matching game and checked out the store in the main lobby and purchased a few things. It was also my daughter's birthday and the guy assisting us into the butterfly entrance made her day by announcing it. The second day we didn't see as many butterflies possibly due to the weather (rainy) they were mainly near the top and also there were more people. We still enjoyed ourself and would def come back.
