Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory

Glass-domed tropical conservatory on Duval Street where visitors walk among hundreds of free-flying butterflies, which the conservatory says represent 50 to 60 species from around the world, along with exotic birds and two flamingos in a lush, rainforest-like setting. Educational displays explain the role butterflies play in the natural world, the Wings of Imagination gallery shows artist Sam Trophia's acrylic butterfly shadow boxes, and the gift shop sells butterfly and nature-themed items.
