Beautiful butterfly house
The butterfly house was absolutely beautiful. Easy to access from the train station in Kuranda. So many beautiful butterflies.
A highlight of Kuranda village, bring a good camera
There are free guided tours throughout the day with the last being around 3pm. I would recommend joining one of these as you get to learn more about this space, then you can explore those same places after at your own pace. There is no food outlet inside but there is a nice picnic area at the back and nearby cafes so you can easily bring food in and eat in the garden. If your bringing a camera bring a good macro or zoom lens, however the butterflies move fast so don't expect them to sit still for long. The staff are very professional, passionate and knowledgeable about butterflies and don't mind answering questions or engaging people. The facility itself is small so it would only take around 45mins-1hr depending on how much time you have. Definitely worth a visit, and the ticket.
