"At this tranquil spot in Oranjestad, hundreds of species of butterflies flutter among tropical flowers, groomed gardens, and a Japanese pond, all set beneath gauzy netting. Docents lead tours past rushing waterfalls, crystal-clear pools, and native flowers, sharing their encyclopedic knowledge of the pretty critters. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to witness babies hatching—one of the farm’s biggest draws. For a perfect picture, wear bright colors like yellow and orange to attract the butterflies to your shoulders."

This place is so, so surprisingly awesome. We went back a second time it was so cool. You will learn a ton about butterflies you never knew, and exhaust your phone taking so many pics. The folks that run this place care deeply and will talk to you as long as you'll listen. Just go.

My wife went and bought a butterfly dress in the United States so that when we went to Aruba, she could visit the butterfly farm. I have to say I had a great time there. They had so many beautiful butterflies and I learned so much. It was actually a little bit exciting for me. It’s not anything that I would have thought about doing, but I am super glad that I did. The staff answered so many questions for me. The atmosphere was so tranquil. We had such a great time. The great thing is that if you buy a ticket you can go as many times as you want. We would definitely check this out again.

Seems a bit pricey but they allow you to reuse your tickets and return for a visit before your trip is up. There are hundreds of butterflies/cocoons, beautiful orchids, informative tours, and koi fish ponds. It can be crowded during the day with tour groups and is best in the early morning or late afternoon if you want to take more pictures. They have cat greeter named Chica!

Loved it! Its a must visit. Its hot, but watching the butterflies is so calming. The included tour is excellent and I left with a better knowledge of the the life and times of butterflies - who knew they can be alcoholics!

We loved visiting the butterfly farm! It was pretty cheap and they give you a pass to come back for free again anytime during your trip. There are many different species of butterflies, and the garden is really pretty
