Visit One of the Largest Butterfly Biomes of Any UK Zoo

ZSL Whipsnade Zoo’s indoor Butterfly House is one of the largest butterfly biomes of any UK Zoo.

Featuring more than 30 different species from around the world, visitors are surrounded by hundreds of colourful butterflies. Throughout your journey through the Butterfly House, you could encounter the fearsome Blue Tiger, Zebra Longwing, or even the majestic Madagascan comet moth.

Each of these species can be spotted through their vivid colours, colours that have hidden meaning within the Butterfly World. From camouflage to mating, colour plays an important part in a butterfly's life, and with our engaging talks you can unravel the mysteries.

Once you’ve encountered our fluttering friends, if you're feeling brave, you can head down to meet our West African Dwarf Crocodiles.

Don’t let their teeth scare you, these swamp dwellers are one of the smallest crocodiles.
Learn more about how these reptiles have come under threat through your travels in this fantastic exhibit.
