REVIEWS
Worth the 4$ sure, seeing butterflies is always a magical feeling, especially when they land on you. Little sad when you see some butterflies with riped wings. Some of the exit staff seemed rude, but I understand the frustration of getting people to listen, especially in a crowded area. I think the traumatizing part was when a man with a net pushed the butterflies out the net and seemed like they just fell and broke a wing. Would I do this again? Probably not 😬

Grandma bought my son a Monarch caterpillar at the caterpillar store. My son was really annoyed that the caterpillar died inside it's chrysalis. They gave it dry milkweed, and we had to give it some fresher milkweed from our neighbor's garden, but it still died. My son suspects these caterpillars were not treated well. He asked me to write this one star review.

Do you like having a self-righteous person whine that their exit is clearly marked when you have already tried to take your terrified, whimpering child out the door that was marked exit? You'll love this. Other kid was fine with flying insects. Employees not very active other than to unhelpfully yell.

I love the butterfly house it's one of the best parts of the fair! I highly recommend going in if you visit the Minnesota state fair! It's only three dollars to get in and they also sell caterpillar so you can take one home and grow a butterfly yourself! 🦋

No butterflies were harmed putting on this cool display. JK! They have them spin around on the way out so the butterflies don’t leave with them
