Branson Attraction
The Butterfly Palace & Rainforest Adventure
The Butterfly Palace & Rainforest Adventure brings the beauty and wonder of nature to Branson through one of the area’s most unique and immersive indoor attractions. Step inside and discover a lush tropical environment where hundreds of live butterflies flutter freely around you, often landing gently on guests as they explore a setting that truly feels like a walk through a rainforest.
Your visit includes unlimited access to every experience inside the attraction. Begin with fascinating educational films, including a stunning 3D presentation following the Monarch butterfly migration and a 2D film explaining how butterflies journey from farms around the world to their new home here in Branson. Guests can also explore the Living Rainforest Science Center, venture through the Emerald Forest Mirror Maze, glide down the Banyan Tree Adventure slide, and enjoy unlimited entry into the breathtaking Exotic Butterfly Aviary.
Families especially love the interactive elements designed for younger explorers. Children can outfit themselves with safari-style gear like pith helmets, binoculars, and magnifying glasses while discovering the rainforest through a self-guided adventure. Meanwhile, parents and grandparents can enjoy a relaxing stroll surrounded by tropical plants, flowing water features, and thousands of delicate butterflies.
The Living Rainforest Science Center introduces guests to a variety of fascinating creatures, including colorful poison dart frogs, lizards, exotic turtles, geckos, and Keith the blue-tongued skink. A couple of beautifully colored birds also call the Butterfly Palace home, adding even more life and movement to this vibrant environment.
Another guest favorite is the Emerald Forest Mirror Maze, where winding paths and reflections recreate the feeling of navigating beneath a dense rainforest canopy. Nearby, the Banyan Tree Adventure invites guests of all ages to climb, explore, and slide through a massive replica of India’s national tree. Before leaving, be sure to stop by the large gift shop filled with nature-themed souvenirs and keepsakes.
Just imagine a 7,000-square-foot aviary filled with butterflies drifting among blooming flowers while tropical birds soar overhead. Whether you’re seeking peaceful relaxation or hands-on discovery, the Butterfly Palace & Rainforest Adventure offers an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.

One of the most enjoyed things that I did while in Branson. I enjoyed the butterflies lighting on my head and hand. I've always loved them but was never that close to them. We bought our tickets there. Also enjoyed the shop and bought several things to bring home.

Nothing too exciting.
We purchased our tickets at the counter and was told the fee would allow us back for 3 days. That was nice except it did not take any longer than a couple hours to do the experience. It was a quick mirror maze, a very small reptile room. You couldn't hardly pass by anyone in it. The butterfly room was the best place! We really enjoyed it.

My six-year-old loved this experience. First we went upstairs and enjoyed the butterflies for almost an hour (there are so many beautiful species!), then we did some activities. Downstairs is a really fun mirror maze, then a reptile/amphibian room. It was only one room, but still really interesting. The large slide in the middle of the room was a huge kid attraction, and the gift shop had many beautiful items. I don’t think older children would enjoy this experience quite as much, because it was smaller than I expected, but it was perfect for my little one.

Was there with my 8 YO daughter on her birthday. It's a great pkace to spend with kiddos who love nature, a date or just for relaxation away from all. FYI no discounts ticket for this. Search at several Branson tickets offices. Respond was nothing available. The ticket was 32.00 for a 3 days admission, wish they realized if it is 12. To 15 dlrs for 1 day. They might get more guest to the site.

So fun! The butterfly room was so pretty and interactive. I was worried my toddler might not have one land near him or maybe it’d be hard for him to see but no, there’s so many butterflies and they have so many feeding things down low that we got to see a ton of them! And the butterflies really do land on people non stop. It was such a fun interaction. The reptile room was super cool too, they have a lot of different reptiles. Plus, all of the animals look very well taken care of and happy. The workers were very nice

What a fun experience! I took my 19 mo grandbaby, DIL, and MIL and we all had a great time. The gift shop had lots of items we wanted to take home and settled on a 3D coaster that our grandbaby has continued to look at even a week later. The play area/slide was too big for the grandbaby, but she loved watching the older kids slide. She loved the interactive floor game outside the mirror maze. I went through the mirror maze by myself, and it was wild. The butterfly exhibit was the most amazing part of the whole experience. After a 30-minute wait, which was completely reasonable, we got to enjoy the butterflies. There were so many butterflies, monarchs, and moths to see. Many landed on our flowers that the staff provided to us as well as we saw butterflies land on others, which was so fun. I highly recommend wearing pink or red, as the venue recommends, as we saw several people in these colors with butterflies on their shoulders and simply flying around them. So fun!

We visited The Butterfly Palace & Rainforest Adventure while in Branson to celebrate our daughter’s 13th birthday, and it turned out to be such a special and memorable experience for our whole family. Walking into the butterfly conservatory felt like stepping into another world. Being surrounded by so many beautiful butterflies flying all around you was absolutely magical. It was peaceful, fun, and such a unique experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and kind, and a couple of them really stood out. The gentleman inside the butterfly rainforest area was so welcoming and helpful, answering questions and making the experience even more enjoyable. The man upstairs handing out the 3D movie glasses was also very friendly and made us feel right at home. We visited as a family of seven—two adults, a toddler, two teenagers, and two boys (ages 9 and 11)—and everyone enjoyed it. There’s plenty to see and do, from the butterfly conservatory to the interactive areas and the 3D movie. It was the perfect place to celebrate a birthday and create some really sweet family memories. If you're visiting Branson, this is definitely a place worth stopping by! 🦋✨
