Butterfly Tampa — Attraction in Tampa

My group and I visited and could not say enough amazing things about this place! Vi was super sweet and answered all of our many questions. Hot chocolate the snake was the most darling (spicy) angel who I had the pleasure to meet through the glass. While the facility isn’t the largest all of the enclosures are pristine and there is plenty of space to take your time and really admire the creatures in their care. They give many of their reptiles free time outside in the sunshine and the butterflies are free to come and go as they please. The nursery and garden shop also had a beautiful variety of plants and if I was local I would have maxed out a credit card there. Fantastic spot for a nice afternoon stroll and to learn about some small (but very important!) exotic and native animals. Thank you again to Vi who was so kind and patient and even let us meet Brick the corn snake! Absolutely made some of our more snake weary friends much more at ease around reptiles while educating us about them at the same time. Would love to come...
