Joseph L. Popp Jr. Butterfly Conservatory

It is a labor of love and the woman who runs it is very knowledgeable but not pushy. It has some interesting birds, too. Not fancy, it's cozy. Highly recommended.

Ok.... I admit I was skeptical when we arrived here. Nearly didn't go in due to the disarray and lack of upkeep outside. My friends and I forged ahead since we drove over an hour to get there. What I can say is, what a wonderfully delightful time we would have missed if we didn't go in. The host is an adorable timid pleasant soul who is completely knowledgeable on everything she houses there. She gives you a fake bright red flower sprayed with passion fruit gatorade to attract the butterflies to you so that you can observe them up close. Please do not try to touch or catch them. I was lucky enough to have one land on my cheek and when it flew off, it's wings delicately grazed my lips. I felt as though I'd been kissed by God. She's done this ALL herself for the love she has for these creatures and to bring peoples awareness of the beauty they bring to our lives. If I had the means $$, I'd give this lady a million and have this place restored for her. She's does more for these creatures than she does for herself. She's living HER dream and how many of us can say that? My advice is just go not expecting much, and leave with a mind filled with amazement and a heart filled with awe. ❤

Amazing place, animals are taken great care of, not sure why other reviews say they are not.

The outside & inside of business was unkept so badly. The place was so hot & humid where the "butterflies" were. The cactus entering the conservatory & plants inside were dead or dying. Lots of butterflies looked in bad shape This is not a place I would recommend if looking for a unique experience
