The Tom Allen Memorial Butterfly Garden, located at Rotary Park, is dedicated to preserving native butterfly species, and the house is a sanctuary for butterflies from predators, and is one of the best things to do in Cape Coral, Florida. Once the butterflies have hatched, matured, and become grown, they are released back into the wild.

At the butterfly house, visitors are able to witness all four life stages of the butterfly, from egg to bright winged, with free tours on Monday, Friday and Saturday mornings. The guided tours educate visitors on characteristics of the specific butterfly species, and inform them about the mission of the butterfly house.
