Had a fantastic time - it's a must-visit when in Vienna. Admission was only €10 per person, and you can stroll around at your own pace as long as you like. The environment was beautifully maintained and seemed perfect for the butterflies! A very peaceful stop in your adventures, highly recommended.

The place was delightful, with many butterflies around. They were accustomed to people, allowing for close encounters. However, I found the ticket a tad pricey given the small size of the area. The staff were very amiable and assisted well. I recommend it if you have an interest in butterflies.

I had a lovely experience there! The entire venue is tidy and well-organized, with free restrooms and a small "cinema" area. There was no wait time, and it wasn't crowded inside. Tickets are quite affordable - €10 for adults and €8 for children under 18.

The experience was enchanting. You can walk along a designated path, and the butterflies are not shy about coming closer. They have designated areas where cocoons are hanging, allowing you to witness a butterfly's "first steps". The plants and trees in the greenhouse are stunning and varied, with a few chairs available to sit and enjoy the view and the atmosphere. A truly marvelous place.

Amazing venue, a small botanical garden full of butterflies. Definitely worth visiting if you're in Vienna! I'd estimate it takes about 20-30 minutes to explore; it’s not large, but patience is key in spotting the beautiful butterflies, especially for taking stunning photos. The venue also has restrooms, which is a plus, and you can purchase souvenirs too.
