Butterfly Park Empuriabrava
Step into the tropics
Looking for a fun outing with the kids? At Butterfly Park Empuriabrava, you suddenly step into a completely different world.
In a large tropical greenhouse, colorful butterflies and exotic birds fly freely around you. You walk among palm trees and tropical plants and along the way, you encounter parrots, iguanas, and special bird species.
The fun part is that you don't watch the animals from a great distance here. You really walk among them, and that's why there's always something new for children to discover.
Butterflies up close
Of course, the butterflies play the leading role. You see them fluttering around in all sorts of colors and sizes, and if you're lucky, one might decide that your shoulder is a perfect resting spot.
Along the way, you also learn more about the life cycle of a butterfly, from caterpillar and pupa to the final metamorphosis.
And be sure to look closely among the plants. Some animals are surprisingly hard to find due to their camouflage.
More than just butterflies
The name might suggest otherwise, but there's much more living in the park.
Especially the parrots and other exotic birds bring a lot of life to the place. Additionally, you can discover iguanas, among other things.
This makes the visit varied and even for children who have seen enough butterflies after ten minutes, there's still plenty to experience.
Perfect with children
The Butterfly Park is not very large, and we actually find that quite pleasant.
Allow about an hour and a half for a leisurely visit. This way, you can easily combine it with something else and don't have to set aside an entire vacation day for it.
Also a great tip for a day when the weather is less favorable, although it remains a tropical greenhouse: inside it's warm and humid.

Our tip
Take your time to look and don't just walk through. It's when you stand still for a moment that you suddenly see how many animals are hidden among the plants.
And keep your camera handy. A butterfly that unexpectedly lands on a head, arm, or shoulder usually makes for the best vacation photos.
A small tropical adventure that's surprisingly fun for both young and old.
