Australian Butterfly Sanctuary

Australian Butterfly Sanctuary is the largest butterfly flight aviary and exhibit in Australia. The all-weather attraction is home to over 1,200 butterflies.

Only a short walk from Skyrail Rainforest Cableway and the Kuranda Scenic Railway station, the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary is located in the heart of Kuranda. Experience the magic of butterflies fluttering all around by taking a stroll through the aviary’s gardens and boardwalks.

Join a tour behind the scenes in the breeding laboratory, housing up to 4,000 caterpillars, or download a free audio tour. Learn more about these magical creatures with educational exhibits.

Observe a butterfly wing through a microscope, Silk Moth caterpillars, the massive Hercules Moth, and the insects in the Mini Beasts display. See through the eyes of a butterfly in the UV Room, explore food plants on the new walk, witness the butterfly lifecycle from eggs to daily aviary release and be amazed at butterflies from all over the globe in the museum displays.
