A must visit for all!
A beautiful butterfly 🦋 house 😍
Free cloakroom to store coats as it gets warm inside.
Please don't touch the butterflies - too many people ignoring the signs and touching the animals!

An interesting place to visit in Vienna. It is quiet, beautiful, peaceful here. Lots of beautiful butterflies circling around you. The hall is very nicely decorated, there is a river with fish, a waterfall, many different types of flowers, you can climb a decorated rock and look at the park from above. I especially liked the "small restaurants" for butterflies, where they flock to eat. It was also interesting to see how butterflies develop in cocoons. If you want to visit the House of Butterflies, do not forget that it is quite humid there. And after visiting, you can buy a souvenir in the shop.

I'm so glad we found this place as it's the perfect activity to do in Vienna if you only have a few hours to visit and don't want to be bothered with huge lines and boring museums. It's basically a tropical forest in a greenhouse and there's quite a few butterflies lying around although many prefer to lie on the wall or the metal structure of the building. There's also a toilet, a shop and a video room where you can learn about the lifecycle of a butterfly.

Amazing place. The butterflies are so beautiful and colourful. I had to force myself to visit because I am terrified of moths, but I would definitely recommend a visit.

Very unique experience. Mesmerizing butterflies, nice trees. A nice place to take pictures. We bought our tickets at the counter and there was no waiting time.

Breath-taking home of butterflies and tropical vegetation. It is extremely relaxing to observe butterflies going around their business. If you are observant enough, you may even find butterfly eggs and larvae. Prepare for high humidity, also some cameras don’t take the climate too well.
The shop is full of cute butterfly merch; you can also buy seeds of some exotic plants.
The toilets are clean. There are also hangers for clothes and although the staff are not responsible for any personal item losses, quite a lot of people left their coats there and nothing bad came out of it.
Great opportunity for pictures and great memories.

Lovely butterfly garden/greenhouse. Lots of gorgeous butterflies flying around and lots of cocoons on display! If is a smaller space, so it gets crammed at times, i do wish they’d limit the number of guests inside for the butterflies’ sake, but overall people didn’t seem to spend too long in there due to the warm and humid climate.

We visited mid-day on a Friday in late March and loved it!! It was actually the highlight of my day!! 🦋🥰

Now reading the reviews that have been posted in the last few hours, i would say:
1. Guess i was lucky to go on a Friday because it was not crowded at all.
2. Yes, it's a bit small, but I would assume it's easier to keep the butterflies together that way.
3. I dont think the entrance fee was too much. I guess cause I was able to enjoy the many types of butterflies.
4. I also saw some people touching the butterflies, which made me mad! There are signs everywhere! I took closer pics, zooming my phone. I wouldn't dare touch any of those little angels.

Like I said, I truly enjoyed it. Even bought a shirt!! Would love to come back if I'm back in Vienna.

If you come in summer, it's suicide in terms of heat. Not only did I collapse, but probably the butterflies did too. :D
Small space but 100% used. Beautiful butterflies, flowers and plants. The people here are worse than animals. They forcefully catch butterflies, rob them. It's sad.

Beautiful place with beautiful butterflies!! The butterflies are so pretty and cute, they’re flying all over the place and it looks magical!! It’s kind of hot but also humid inside so make sure to not wear too much warm clothes. It may be a little crowded cause there’s not that much place but the butterflies are everywhere you can even see them emerge from the cocoon!! Also a lot of beautiful and real plants!! Definitely recommend!!🤍🦋

Loved it. Very crowded for such a small space, and a bit too humid and hot if going on a hot day. Seeing the beautiful view and butterflies is another level of joy and amazement. Recommend this👍

Lovely place to escape the cold of winter, good price for a quick 30 minute to an hour visit with beautiful butterflies and plants. Super warm inside which may not be a bonus during summer but definitely was during winter time! would recommend

Beautiful fun butterfly house! It gets crowded but is very fun to see the varieties of butterflies.

I visited right at opening on a Tuesday morning and there was no wait and very few visitors. You can spend as much time as you like. (Cost is 9 euro per adult).

There are seats indoors and a bridge above for photo opportunities. Be aware that it's quite humid and warm (another reason I'd go earlier in the day).

Watch your feet - butterflies may land in the ground, or even on your body!

The gift shop is cute and sells many seeds and animal-themed toys.

Fun!! I am no insect-intellect so I can’t say anything about the butterflies that were there, but I enjoyed the tropical atmosphere and the pretty colours! There are tons of butterflies that fly around and they are definitely not human shy! Put a piece of banana in your hand and you will have them surrounding you in no time.
Not too big of a building so don’t plan to stay here more than 30-40 minutes. The entrance fee is €7, which I think is worth it. Fun activity that I would recommend!

We went on a Saturday so it was a little bit crowded. So far we felt very good and had a pleasant time. The museum is kind of a small botanical garden and lots of butterflies.
Adult ticket was 9€.

This place is a gem! Loved spotting the butterfly varieties all over and under. Yes, it's humid in there but the butterflies love it that way.

So pretty. Many butterflies and different exotic plants! It was totally worth doing. It's pretty quick, done in 30 minutes. It's a bit expensive for what it is though... And be aware, it's really hot in there! We went on a warm and sunny day, and it was like a sauna inside.

The sight of these beautiful creatures is mesmerizing to everyone. If you're lucky, they'll even land on you!

Very small but beautiful place full of butterflies. It is kind of hot inside and humid also it could get crowded.🦋
