The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory located at 1316 Duval Street, Key West, Florida, United States is a butterfly park that houses from 50 to 60 different species of live butterflies from around the world in a climate-controlled, glass-enclosed habitat.
The conservatory includes flowering plants, cascading waterfalls and trees. There are also several species of free flying "butterfly friendly" birds, such as American flamingoes, red-factor canaries, zebra finches, cordon-bleu finches and "button" or Chinese painted quail. [1]
There is a learning center where guests can get a close up view of a variety of live caterpillars feeding and developing on their host plants. [2]
