Butterfly House

In 2004, we opened The Butterfly House at Put-in-Bay, a 4000 sq. ft. aviary housing over 500 different types of exotic butterflies from all over the world. Relax with soothing music as butterflies flit all around. Breath in the lovely scents of the butterfly bushes and other beautiful flowers. The kids will enjoy the secret walkways throughout the garden to get up close with the butterflies in their natural environment. Teach the kids about how butterflies are created from our knowledgeable staff. A 15-minute educational presentation is also included at no extra charge. Stay as long as your heart desires.
