A palace may conjure images of opulence – tumbling fountains and perfectly-manicured lawns that lead to lavish homes decorated with the finest of everything. However, there’s one Missouri palace that strays from that image yet boasts a uniqueness that little can rival. Home to more than 1,000 butterflies and a lush tropical rainforest, The Butterfly Palace is a one-of-a-kind destination that belongs on every nature lover’s must-visit list.
Stroll through a real-life tropical rainforest when you visit The Butterfly Palace in Branson, a family-friendly attraction that offers a range of activities.
When you wander through the aviary, where more than 1,000 exotic butterflies of up to 60 different species live, you might even have a few land on you.
The Butterfly Palace offers free flower nectar that you can use to feed the butterflies. If you visit at the right time, you may even be able to release one of the butterflies.
However, the fun's just beginning. Visit the rainforest, where you'll meet a plethora of reptiles and amphibians. You might even get to pet one of them.
