Mariposario Butterfly Kingdom Costa Rica — Attraction in San Rafael

This place has changed a lot for the better since the last time I visited. It turned out to be an ideal place to relax.

The ambient, the temperature and the sounds of the whole butterfly place were very soothing. They are only missing hammocks to turn the place into a relax and enjoy place. Food was also great, the attention to detail and the positivity in the staff.

You are greeted from the first step you take into the place and missed once you leave with a "hope to see you soon". The butterfly enclosure is beautiful and relaxing.

It really helped me sooth my mind. We basically were going there for 30 minutes and then to a mall, this turned out to be a 8 hour stayed from morning to almost evening.

Note that the place has different looks throughout the day and it looks beautiful at...

Lovely, peaceful place with lots of butterflies, pretty flowers and a very loving vibe. In the butterfly enclosure you can see butterfly eggs, chrysalises, caterpillars and lots and lots of flying butterflies. They also have spnges on a stick you can use to feed butterflies (no charge). They have a full restaurant with outdoor seating, they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, and they have a wood fired over, a nice gift shop and swings for the children to play on. One night we were there they had bingo with nice prizes. We really enjoyed this place on our visit and came back a few times with the children to see the butterflies, play on the swings and to eat. And as far as price we thought it was...

We enjoyed our visit. We saw butterflies, eggs, and caterpillars. It was $12 per adult (our 12 yo son is considered an adult here) if you are not a citizen or resident, so it was $36 for the 3 of us which was quite expensive.

There is a building you enter to see the butterflies and we spent ~30-40 minutes and although it was wonderful, the price is too high.

There wasn't an English speaking guide available so we were unable to take advantage of that aspect of a visit.

There are a couple of swings for kids under 12, bathrooms and working on a restaurant.

Overall, nice visit but wouldn't come back due to...
