Butterfly House

Step into a world of colour, calm and discovery

Our Butterfly House has recently reopened following a full refurbishment, creating a refreshed space where butterflies once again fly freely among lush plants and vibrant flowers. It’s a calm, immersive environment where you can slow down and take it all in.

As you explore, you’ll spot a variety of beautiful species including Emerald Swallowtails, Atlas Moths and Lemon Butterflies, with more joining us as our population continues to grow.

The experience goes beyond butterflies too. You may come across our resident lemurs nearby, along with a selection of fascinating reptiles including red-footed tortoises, a Morelet’s crocodile and an American alligator.

We’re rebuilding our butterfly population carefully, so each visit will feel a little different.

Don’t forget to tag your photos with #JimmysFarm – we love seeing what you discover.
