every time my granddaughter comes to visit me we go to see the butterfly exhibition. Beautiful is like being in another world. Due to her condition of Autism, her connection with nature is incredible. She also has ADHD. also requiring Support in Social Communication. Before entering she understands the rules of the site very well even better than me. because she is high functioning autistic. And believe me, maybe one day she will work for you guys. But the fact that she spreads her arms is not an indication that she wants to touch the butterflies. It is for them to reach her. I'm telling you this not because of a bad review because there was one of you staff employees who came out and told her you can't touch them. You can imagine what happened to her. she began to cry because what she wanted was for a blue butterfly to reach on her hands. Nothing more than that. She wasn't touching her I was with her reminding her of the rules she just wanted to feel the blue butterfly in her hands. She wasn’t stalking them . which she knows very well its name and its characteristics not only of that butterfly of almost all of them. I can assure you that in the future my granddaughter will be of great help to you. Having said all this, I only have one suggestion. Today various colors are used to identify special conditions. I think it's the purple color. With a bracelet you as employees will know that it is a person with special conditions. but that behind them there is an adult who knows the rules and is going to help you to make that special person follow the rules in such a beautiful place prepared to preserve something as beautiful as butterflies. My granddaughter Briana is very grateful that you take care of her butterflies, she understands that butterflies are God's creation and you have to take good care of them. When she spreads out her arms, she knows that at some point one of the butterflies is going to reach her, and that's how it has been on our recent visits to such a beautiful place.
Wow this place is so cool! It's a wonderful museum dedicated to Florida's natural history and has so many interesting exhibits. My absolute favorite is the fossil exhibit. The Mastodon display is quite impressive and mostly intact. The butterfly garden is pretty spectacular too. And if you like spiders and creepy crawly things check out the Spiders Live exhibit. We had such a wonderful time here.
We loved everything about this museum! We had gone once before and decided to take our entire family this go around. The butterfly gardens are a must. We enjoyed being able to go in as many times as we wanted. Perfect location for both kids and adults to have a memorable trip. Entry is free, just have to pay for the add-ons like the butterfly gardens.
The museum was pretty nice! Lots of cool things to look at and take pictures of. I LOVED the fossil part that was probably my favorite. They have a play area for kids to explore as well, I loved it too as an adult. Best of all, parking and entry were free!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
So wonderful! It's free to get in but you have to pay to see the extra exhibits. It's totally understandable when you think about how expensive it would be to keep all of the butterflies, plus the plants , and other animals alive. I highly recommend it! I've never seen so many shell fossils! The native American history was also educational and would be great for kids especially homeschooling ones.
Nice museum. Easy parking. Lots to see and different exhibits. Paid extra to see the butterfly garden and spider display. Was worth it. Lots of Florida history. Arrow heads. Native American history. Fossils. It wasn’t too busy. Lots of space staff was very friendly and informative. Nice place to spend the day. Good for family’s kids and dates.
10/10 worth every penny! Such a great experience for our family. WORTH IT!! WE LOVED BOTH EXHIBITIONS :Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$21–30
Very beautiful museum. Absolutely loved the butterflies. Highly recommend coming here with family and friends. Do the whole experience. Just wish the butterfly exhibit was longer.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$31+
Wonderful Museum. Went to all three 'exhibits' 1. The Butterfly rainforest 2. The main museum 3. The spider one - rotating exhibit Drove to Gainesville from Indiana to see UofF and someone recommended we stop here and I'm so glad we did. We loved it! It's so well done and there is a lot to see and learn. Even our 17 year old daughter loved it. Tip: There is electric parking in the garage but you need to follow the instructions unlike hubby I think that's nice for those of us with EV or PHEV.
We loved the museum. The spiders exhibit was great! I saw a fossilized “20 million year old” Dominican spider
