Located in enchanting Encinitas, Butterfly Farms is a unique destination perfect for a sunny spring day! The organization is dedicated to education and regularly hosts school groups, garden clubs, and people who want to learn more about the beautiful wildlife. They are there to share their knowledge with in-depth educational tours of their beautiful vivarium and grounds.
Amongst the gorgeous native butterflies, they raise you’ll find Monarch butterflies!

When visiting, a $6 admission donation per person is requested. However, admission for children 2 years old and younger is free and for active-duty military and dependents. When walking around the lush grounds, you will also see various plants and greenery for sale at the onsite nursery. This is a fantastic gift idea, and you can never have too many plants!

The Butterfly Farms Vivarium is open every day from April 1st to November 15th from 10 until 3:00 pm.
