Cypress Gardens is home to countless wildlife species from tiny mosquito fish to the mighty alligator. The butterfly house and fresh water aquarium feature native species of butterflies, plants, reptiles, fish and amphibians for public view as well as education programs. Benches in the butterfly house afford guests the opportunity to relax and watch as the colorful creatures flit about and feed on the native plants. 24,000 gallons of water in the aquarium displays animals from the swamp that visitors might not be able to see in the wild. Tours at Cypress Gardens are for the most part self-guided walks and boat rides.
