The farm was opened in 1986 because of the owners interest in butterflies and in nature generally. Butterflies are fascinating and beautiful creatures and the farm is an indoor all weather centre - a mini visit to an exotic tropical environment here in Ireland. It is an opportunity to see at close range some of the world's most exotic creatures and observe their interesting life cycles. There is a large exhibition area of butterfly collections from all over the world with a special emphasis on educational and living displays. In the tropical butterfly house relax among colourful blooms and exotic plants while butterflies fly and feed around you.
All displays are accessible by wheelchair.
