Butterflies are the world's most beautiful and delicate insects. And at the Mariposario butterfly park, you'll learn about the many exotic species that fly freely within this custom-built butterfly park and breeding centre.

Mariposario de Benalmadena is one of the biggest butterfly parks in Europe. It is beautifully located next to a Buddhist temple, with views over the coast. Being one of the few parks that breeds its own butterflies, it boasts large numbers of species from both the Americas and Asia. It's also home to some turtles, iguanas – and even a wallaby.

My kids really loved the search sheets given out which stopped them from getting bored, the talk was great and informative and the gift shop was very affordable. Seen negative reviews about travel but was surprised how little it cost to get there, maybe 5€ each.. we used Uber but there is also a lovely tourist train in benalmadena marina which takes you there

We enjoyed the exotic plant life however if you are not staying very local and are using public transport we wouldn't recommend, it is very small and there were not many butterfly to see on the day we went , they did have a wallaby and across the road there was a beautiful Buddhist temple

The tickets were easy to book but we had to arrange he the travel which worked out costlier than the experience. I would be happy to include travel with the experience to make it seamless and hasslefree

The Butterfly Park is well presented, lots of useful interpretation about the lifecylce and conservation of butterflies. Staff incredibly helpful - the guide gave an informative talk in English and answered questioned, gave info 1:1 as we walked round. Incredible to have so many tropical butterflies flying all around you and the ability to take photos is limitless! Also so lovely rescued birds, and small mammals. Beautiful setting with stream, ponds and tropical foilage. Go early 10am when quiet.Also not on a sunny, hot day - cloudy & cool/windy is best to be inside the humid greenhouse. Nice gift shop, cafe and toilets.
