Tips for Your Visit to the Dubai Butterfly Garden

  • Don’t carry food: You aren’t allowed to enter the garden with any food as stale food attracts insects that may harm the butterflies. There are a lot of eateries within the garden where you can eat should you feel hungry.
  • Stick to the rules: Avoid areas where access is restricted. You should follow all the instructions laid down by the park management.
  • Keep an eye on the kids: Keep an eye on your kids and see to it that they don’t bother the butterflies flying around or resting on leaves and flowers.
  • Be conscious of the well-being of the butterflies: Butterflies are sensitive. Therefore, you shouldn’t touch them, and if you want to take snaps, approach the garden staff for assistance.
