The Butterfly Estates

The Butterfly Estates is an eco-friendly botanical garden and butterfly conservatory located in the downtown Fort Myers River District.






The glass conservatory showcases an assortment of tropical flowers and plants that attract a variety of butterflies and small waterfalls that cascade down into fish-filled pools of water. Although small, it is a unique  interaction with nature best enjoyed in cooler weather.

Three historic homes from the early 1900s have also been renovated to reflect Old Florida charm as the Flutterby's Cafe, Mother Nature's Gift Shop and Caterpillars Ice Cream & Fudge Factory.

The Butterfly Estates is open 365 days a year with hours varying by season. Admission is priced by age with available discounts listed on their website.
