The Key West Butterfly Conservatory is an amazing place to visit. I recently visited this conservatory and honestly have never felt more peaceful in my life. You walk in the building and there is a gift shop and then admissions area for the conservatory. You purchase tickets, go through a short area with pictures and descriptions, and then enter the world of butterflies. Never had I seen so many gorgeous butterflies everywhere. Beautiful butterflies in many colors, including bright metallic blue. The area also had gorgeous flowers and a small pond with Coy Fish. Turtles hung out by a waterfall. Calming music is playing. There is also a lab area where you can observe the workers with the hatching butterflies. You are not allowed to touch the butterflies, but if they accidentally land on you, it is considered good luck! My fiancee and I each had at least one land on us. You may take as many photos as you want, and we got some wonderful photos. We then went to the gallery and purchased a gorgeous collection of 5 of the top butterflies in a nice resin case. They sent it to our house by UPS, and we received it just a few days after we got back from our trip, completely perfect! I would definitely recommend this butterfly conservatory; it is an amazing experience!
