Dubai Butterfly Garden

Arjan Exit Road, Dubai, Dubai

Description

Dubai Butterfly Garden houses around 15,000 butterflies of over 50 varieties in 10 climate-controlled domes. There is also a butterfly and insect museum, a koi pond in one of the domes and a cascade in another one.

Access & Transport

The garden is located in Dubailand, a large area still under development in the south of the city. The closest metro stations are Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Internet City, a 15min drive away so taxi / driving is the most efficient way to get there and there are free parking lots onsite

Instructions & Recommendations

We recommend combining this attraction with the Dubai Miracle Garden next door

Meta review

Reviewers by and large do enjoy their experience and recommend the visit for families. A few recurring comments on price being high, insufficient educational resources and some visitors not following basic rules such as not handling / picking up butterflies.

Environmental & Social

Temperature controlled domes require a fair amount of energy and water. Ethical issue around captivity of animals

Conclusion

The Butterfly Garden is an attraction that most people will enjoy - irrespective of their age. There is nothing about it that is really Dubai specific, so not on the short list for those whose main interest is to discover the city and its culture, but a good option for residents and repeat visitors to Dubai.

Key positive

Very different experience from the more traditional theme-parks and entertainment venues

Family friendly

Key negative

Staff should be stricter around the "no touching" rule

Expensive considering the out of the way location and reasonable scale of the facilities

Suitability

Suitable for all ages and no accessibility problem for visitors with reduced mobility
