The Butterfly & Wildlife Park

This is a great place to go to if you have kids. I remember going there twice (once with school and the other with my family) and I remember seeing all the butterflies and other insects/​amphibians/​arachnids and not feeling scared. (I was only around 4 at the time) and remember having the best day. The Gift Shop is well stocked with products. Also, there are other displays and other things to see as well there.

A great day out for me, as I suffer panic attacks and this was a destination to reach.
The place was OK, not as good as I anticipated it to be.
For children It would be a good few hours out.

It’s a brilliant day out, and their own books on Butterflies are beautiful. Be sure to catch the falconry.

A lovely day out. Great for kids as there are many things to do. Lots of animals and a nice gift shop. Also nice restuarant to sit and rest and refresh. Would go there again.

HAve been to the park a few times over the years, and although the children really enjoyed it, even my daughter who was 6 at the time holding some kind of tarantula spider.
They do do a lovely falconry display which is llovely sitting outside during the summer.
The play par kis quite extensive and even my hubby had fun playing on the zip wire. The terrapins are also interesting to watch and they have such an array of butterflys.
They have a huge picnic area which caters for large parties as well as having a coffee shop and a gift store

We visited the butterfly park this summer and had a wonderful time. We had both teenager and a 2 year old with us and all enjoyed the visit.
The butterflies are beautiful and the feeding stations allow you to get a good close look without them fluttering off. The 2 year old was chanting butterfly for weeks (if not months) afterwards and was so excited about it all.
Getting a good close look at the birds of prey /​owls outside was fantastic. They do fly some of these birds, but when we went the wind was too high to enable them to fly, so unfortuantely we were not able to see the demonstration.
The adventure playground is split into sections by age. Not that you could tell my 2 year old that and she proceeded to run all over everything with her dad in tow.
The café is a reasonably nice place and I particularly enjoyed the chocolate cake that appeared to be homemade. It was a nice big slice and certainly hit the spot.
We will certanly consider returning next year (hopefully on a less windy day)

If you are looking for a fab day out in Lincolnshire then give The Butterfly & Wildlife Park at Long Sutton a go.
This little park started out as just a butterfly park but over the years has extended its collection and now houses birds of prey, ponies, pigs, llamas and racoons (to name but a few).
The tropical house is home to the butterflies (plus some reptiles and other insects). The volume and variety of butterflies is breathtaking and the tropical house is well set out so you get plenty of opportunity to see the butterflies without feeling you have walked round in circles.
Outside in the park you can explore all the other animal exhibits and catch one of the daily falconry displays. There is a new children’s adventure play area and if all of this tires you out and you need to recharge your batteries then there is a lovely restaurant/​café which serves delicious homemade cakes and lunches.
The Gift shop is well stocked and the staff are all very friendly. All in all a fantastic day out.
