Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center — Attraction in Durand

I was recently able to spend a few days in Callaway Gardens and during that time, I made my way into the Butterfly Center.

Although this wasn't my first time in the Butterfly Center, it was my first time in many years, so I enjoyed strolling through slowly on a quiet day. It was just as lovely as I remembered it. The establishment is both clean and well maintained, the staff I met while walking through the center were kind, and the butterflies are, as always, breathtaking.

There were so many species to enjoy, and the way they flutter carelessly through their well-designed home is so fun to watch. My favorite part of the experience, was walking around to different bushes, and seeing which species of butterfly were attracted to different flowers. Truly a learning experience!

If you are in the area, or plan to be, make time to visit the Butterfly Center! Free entry (unless you find something at the gift shop!) and plenty of beauty make this a perfect way to spend an...

We had such a good time visiting the Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center. Everyone really enjoyed learning about the butterflies and what all is going on to help educate and preserve the butterflies in that area. Our crew was made up of ages from 80 all the way down to 4 and everyone of learned something new that day!

You will be able to spend hours in here and probably not see all the different types of butterflies that they have flying around. We spent almost two hours there and even had several of them land on us so we could get an up close and personal view of these wonderful...

I stopped at the main gate of Calloway Gardens and was able to obtain a pass to enter the Butterfly Center and resort grounds free of charge since it was near closing time. If I would’ve had to pay the regular admittance price to enter I would’ve been mad!

I absolutely love butterflies. This is a beautiful place to visit to just to sit and reflect, but I wouldn’t suggest paying to enter unless maybe going for a special event or a class.

There was lots of parking and plenty of other things to do and see at the resort that looked super cool! As I got there almost right at closing I didn’t have time to participate in any other activities.

The Butterfly Center is not very large and honestly I didn’t see a huge assortment of different colored butterflies while I was there. It is very humid inside with a waterfall and lots of plants...
