    Visitors

    Butterflies bring a smile to everyone’s face so come along and enjoy the excitement of the world of the butterfly. Bribie Island Butterfly House is a wheelchair friendly facility.

     

    Bribie Island Butterfly House is certainly not the largest butterfly house in the world – far from it – but it may well be the most unusual!  You visit – you decide!

     

    Our Flight Attendants will explain the amazing life cycle of the butterfly as you view each stage through the big glass windows of the Breeding Laboratory.

     

    Then you’ll go through a short tunnel into the wonderful world of butterflies!  Enjoy!!
