Located on Duval Street in the middle of all the hustle and bustle, there is a peaceful, almost magical oasis known as The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory. It houses an incredible collection of about 60 species of the most beautiful butterflies imaginable and more than 20 exotic species of birds. These creatures spin and flutter about the thriving, humid tropical habitat of the Conservatory.

Enjoy the fragrant flowering bushes and watch butterflies glide from one plant to the next in a mesmerizing dance of colors and shapes. You can also see how caterpillars feed on their host plants and transform from one stage to another. The Conservatory has a nice gift shop where you can purchase the artistic butterfly compositions of artist Sam Trophia.
