Stratford Butterfly Farm
The tropical flight area brings butterflies close to the paths, with further displays following their life cycle and introducing other invertebrates. It gives a Stratford day a complete change of subject from the Tudor buildings. Slow observation is more rewarding than expecting a particular animal to appear on cue.
Wear removable layers for the warm, humid interior and book a slot in busy periods. Timed online visitors take priority over walk-ins, who may need to wait.
