We went here on a rainy day up north. I can not say enough wonderful things about the people that work here. My 5 year old daughter had the time of her life and it was directly related to the engagement of the people working here. They were amazing. We have been to many butterfly houses and zoos, all of which have been so so. This place was very different. If you are looking for a place to take kids, go here. You won’t be disappointed!

This butterfly house is super cool. We found this place online and it was between our lake cottage and Sleeping Bear Dunes so we stopped. The layout is you walk in to the front desk, pay and then head thru a mini museum to a mud flap doors. These are there to keep the butterflies safe from escaping. They have between 30 – 50 different species of butterflies at one time. These high fliers zoom about in the humid room. They land on just about everything; rocks, leaves of the plants, ceiling, you. It’s a fun place for kids and breaks up any drive! They have two workers inside to show you the different types of butterflies. It’s truly a fun time for kids! After you leave that room they put you on the other side of the mini museum. This is of bugs, spiders and frogs. Oh, and a bee hive that is in a clear casing and they actually have a pipe exit for them. So they fly outside to get real flowers and nectar. We will be back for this place! It was so much fun.

This is a great little exhibit and experience. It’s interesting enough to wander around a room full of butterflies, but when there are interested and engaging volunteers to explain what’s going on, and a bunch of small exhibits showing fun insects and spiders, it makes for a very pleasant stop. But it is mostly just a stop: we lingered, and saw everything there is to see, in around 45 minutes. You can tell that this is a product of a few people’s passion. That’s great in that it’s a very down-to-earth experience, and the people there actually seemed to care about what they’re doing. It’s about 15 minutes outside of Traverse City, but worth the drive, particularly for insect or butterfly lovers.
