Butterfly Estates

Butterfly Estates is located in Fort Myers in Florida, an eco-attraction that is devoted to the many butterflies of the area. The estates provide a park type atmosphere, combined with an educational style twist that makes for a good day out at any time of year.

The estates sit in the downtown's river district and opens from Monday to Saturday from dawn until sunset. Providing southern type appeal, guests are greeted by its vast veranda, where tables and chairs provide shaded dining through its beautiful restaurant and elegant cafe. There is even a fudge type factory shop where the smells of ice cream and freshly made fudge permeate the air well before guests reach the building.

One of the main features of the estates is the conservatory, which houses a lush and natural, tropical type environment with nectar type plants and the cascading waters of man-made waterfalls. Hidden amongst its flora and fauna, guests will see butterflies in their thousands. It is a botanical environment that is renowned as one of the most eco friendly attractions in the state.

The Butterfly Estates leave a smile on each patron's face as many have butterflies landing on them as they meander around the preserve. Best of all, the estates are open to early morning and later afternoon visits to allow visitors to avoid the hot summer heat and chilly winter temperatures.
