Mariposario de Benalmádena-Butterfly Park

Visited today with my wife and young daughters. Note there is no parking at the venue but road parking an available near by. We went to book in advance, on the day but the website states you have to wait 1 hour before you can enter so we just purchased our tickets on site. Overall it’s was very clean and tidy with a small gift shop and on site cafe. Once inside the main area it’s simply amazing, lots of butterflies and some birds flying around. My girls absolutely loved it and even had some butterflies land on them and stay for a while. It appears all the creatures are well looked after and you can get up close with many of them. The turtles and fish pond are a nice touch. You have to watch where you walk as butterflies just stop on the paths. Lots of information to read. The girls had a spot the butterfly quiz provided by the venue which was a bit of fun. I think we were there for approximately 45 mins to 1 hour max. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

A great experience all in all. The park itself is not very large, but creative pathways inside makes for an illusion of it being larger on the inside than outside. Great for kids with interest in butterflies and colours but also for adults. The butterflies literally fly around your head (and some do land on you). Almost felt creepy to hear the "woosh" of a butterfly passing your ears.

Such an enchanting activity! Our 1 year old loved it - butterflies flying around their head, beautiful fish in the pond, and some tortoises too! It is warm inside (rightly so!) so dress Littles in light layers.

I dearly recommend! They have a great variety of butterflies, and walking around surrounded by them is amazing. I had multiple butterflies to sit on me, but one of them just wouldn’t leave anymore😂 I had to go to someone from the staff to remove it from my bottoms. Tips: somewhere up, after you climb some stairs is an air vent and cold air is entering that way. Was a good feeling 😂 Anyway, being around butterflies is wonderful! Another tip: online tickets were cheaper😂

The price for admission was very reasonable. It was very interesting. It was great that children got a little game for their butterfly search. There are lots of butterflies to see, and the shop was also very nicely designed. I also thought it was great that there was a café right next door for sitting and snacking.

An amazing experience with hundreds of butterflies flying all around you, all kind of species filled with amazing colours, please be careful when walking inside, many butterflies tend to wrest on the floor, if you have kids you need to watch over them. There are also some turtles, birds and a koy carp pawn. Well worth the money spent.

A really good place, especially if you have kids! They have a great range of butterflies, and the interactive checklist they give to children at the entrance is a brilliant idea. The butterfly lifecycle is clearly explained, too. It's a perfect way to spend 60-90 minutes.

It is a really interesting place with so many types of butterflies and moths. The conservation work is great to see. Added tortoise, fish, and small birds bonus. Lots of learning opportunities for adults and children.
