Tropical Butterfly House & Wildlife Centre

Discover a wild day out, catch a glimpse into a faraway world and make friends with creatures great and small at Sheffield's Tropical Butterfly House, Wildlife and Falconry Centre.

Get close to lots of free-roaming animals, handle exotic snakes and magnificent birds of prey and feed marmoset monkeys, lorikeets and many more amazing creatures. Enjoy spectacular bird of prey displays and noisy parrot shows. Take part in a range of family-friendly activities, demonstrations and events which run throughout the year.

The newly extended patio and garden provide an idyllic setting in which to sample a range of traditional and speciality teas, quality coffees and irresistible homemade cakes. The cosy Butterfly Cafe also serves range of tasty, freshly-prepared meals and thirst-quenching chilled drinks.

Outside, children can chill out in a hammock, dig in the sandpit or take to the wheel of a pedal car while the all-weather Family Fun House has crafts, games and puzzles for tots, teens and in-betweens. On weekends and during school holidays, hitch a ride aboard the tractor-trailer.

Open daily and just 5 minutes from the M1, junction 31.
