About

Dubai Butterfly Garden

Located right next to Dubai Miracle Garden, Dubai Butterfly Garden is a unique nature destination featuring beautifully designed climate-controlled domes filled with colorful butterflies of various species, freely flying around visitors in a lush garden environment.

Created by the same team behind the world-famous Dubai Miracle Garden, the attraction offers a peaceful oasis surrounded by vibrant plants, flowers, and nature-inspired landscapes. Dubai Butterfly Garden provides visitors with the opportunity to experience the fascinating world of butterflies up close while learning about their incredible life cycle and transformation through every stage.

It's easy to while away a couple of hours as you wander through the different domes. If the children need a break, they can indulge in tasty snacks — nachos, popcorn and gelato, plus fresh fruit juices — while taking in a movie in our theatre. Explore the Butterfly Museum to discover stunning artworks created using real butterflies by our talented in-house artisans. Want to take home a special butterfly souvenir? We've got a store for that located right by the museum at the garden's entrance.
