The Butterfly Gardens Abu Dhabi

The Butterfly Gardens Abu Dhabi offers a first of its kind indoor wildlife sanctuary where nature comes alive in a fully climate controlled tropical environment. Located at Al Qana, just minutes from the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, this immersive attraction is home to over 10,000 butterflies alongside rare rainforest species from Asia and the Americas. Guests stroll through beautifully designed biodomes filled with lush greenery, flowing water features, koi ponds and softly lit walkways that create a calm, peaceful atmosphere away from the city’s fast pace. As you explore deeper into the gardens, you’ll encounter unique animals such as the two toed sloth, Palawan bearcat, tamandua, Sri Lankan giant squirrel, Cuvier’s dwarf caiman and vibrant tropical birds, all moving freely within the natural habitat style setting. Education and conservation are at the heart of the experience, with interactive zones and guided tours designed to teach visitors about ecosystems, pollination and biodiversity. Ethically sourced butterflies and sustainable practices make this attraction both inspiring and meaningful. Whether visiting with family, friends or as a student, the gardens offer a relaxing and unforgettable nature escape all year round.
