School Groups

At the Coffs Harbour Butterfly House we are able to provide the students of your school with a unique and unforgettable educational experience.

As well as touring through the Butterfly House with our knowledgeable guides and having a supervised exploration of the maze, we will organise an age appropriate activity to develop your students understanding of the butterfly lifecycle. These activities are directly related to the age of your class so therefore an excursion can be arranged for preschool, infants or primary school aged children. Another part of your excursion will be some hands on education in butterfly gardening and building sustainable environments for butterflies in your area. Children will have the chance to plant some butterfly host plants and learn how to care for them back at school. A nectar and host plant will be given to each school to encourage the planting out of native butterfly gardens.

The Butterfly House is also an awesome place for high school students, especially those studying photography or art. The closeness of these beautiful creatures is an artists delight.

The Butterfly House grounds provide shaded, grassed areas for rest and meal breaks for the students. We can also cater for teachers and parents as morning or afternoon teas or lunches can be booked.

The cost for your class to visit The Butterfly House is affordable. We charge $6.00 per child (including GST) and allow 1 adult free of charge with every 5 paying children. Additional adults are charged our discounted admission rate of $7.00 per adult.

We believe school excursions to The Butterfly House will be an activity your class will remember for a long time.
