The Butterfly Farm
Things to Do in Aruba
Colourful tropical island, colourful tropical butterflies! The Butterfly Farm, Aruba, is located near Palm Beach and like everything in Aruba, a fairly short drive from all other attractions and the capital city.
Set in a tropical garden with trees, flowers and ponds (with goldfish), the Butterfly Farm is a spectacle of colour and diversity, an idyllic spot for a family to spend a day together communing with nature at its most beautiful. Early-day visitors are almost invariably rewarded with the magic of seeing a new butterfly emerge from its chrysalis and spread its wings, ready for flight. In fact, visitors will be able to observe the life stages of butterflies in real time.
Knowledgeable guides offer information and commentary to ensure a fascinating, fact-filled visit. A purchased pass is good for the duration of your stay on Aruba, so it’s an affordable attraction, too. Be swept away!
