The Butterfly Garden
An exciting excursion for the whole family!

Welcome to the wonderful world of butterflies at the Butterfly Garden in Knokke-Heist.

As you step into the Vlindertuin, you enter a primeval forest of exotic plants complete with a babbling brook. More than 300 butterflies from a wide variety of countries flutter and flit wherever you go, including passionflower butterflies, tropical butterflies, owlet moths, red admirals etc. And, if you’re lucky, some may even come and land gently on your head or shoulders.
Opening times
10.00 am to 5.30 pm
(from the Easter holidays to the 1st weekend of October)

 
The whole story
from chrysalis to butterfly

During the season, many butterflies breed and procreate in the Butterfly Garden. You’ll see them at all stages of their lifecycle: eggs, caterpillars, chrysalises and fully-fledged butterflies. The colourful information panels will also tell you everything you need to know about their remarkable process of growth. All of which makes an excursion to the Butterfly Garden a wondrous and fascinating journey into the world of these amazing insects.

We look forward to seeing you at the Butterfly Garden.
And why not combine your visit with a good chat and chinwag in our “Het Vlinderhof” coffee shop?

The shop at the Butterfly Garden features a wide range of books about butterflies and the natural world, as well as a variety of great gifts.
