Butterfly House Gift Shop Particulars

The Butterfly House Gift Shop at Put-in-Bay is a magical destination that should be on every visitor’s itinerary.

This enchanting oasis, nestled within Perry’s Cave and Family Fun Center, offers a serene environment filled with vibrant butterflies, lush greenery, and soothing music.

A trip to the Butterfly House is not complete without a visit to the Butterfly House Gift Shop, where you can find an array of treasures.

Spanning 500 square feet, the Butterfly House Gift Shop is a haven for butterfly enthusiasts. It boasts an impressive selection of garden gifts, glass and crystal figurines, and a delightful variety of jewelry.

Additionally, framed butterfly specimens and nature gifts are available for purchase. The shop also offers an extensive range of Put-in-Bay gifts and souvenirs, ensuring that visitors can take a piece of the island home with them.

Within the Butterfly House itself, visitors are treated to a captivating experience. Meandering along picturesque pathways adorned with stunning plants, guests encounter secret passageways and hidden corners.

Established in 2004, this expansive 4,000-square-foot aviary is home to over 50 species of butterflies from around the world. The diversity of these fluttering wonders is awe-inspiring.

As you explore the Butterfly House, be on the lookout for remarkable specimens such as the dazzling Mosaic butterfly from Central America, the graceful Orchard Swallowtail from Australia, and the elusive Dead Leaf Butterfly from Southwest Asia.

The Dead Leaf Butterfly, with its intricate blend of oranges and blues on the upper side of its wings, remarkably camouflages itself as a dead leaf when viewed from below. It often perches motionless on branches, its “stem” touching the twigs, making it a challenging find.

The experience of observing these captivating creatures up close is truly unforgettable.

For those eager to expand their knowledge, the Butterfly House Gift Shop offers a collection of butterfly specimens encased in glass. These educational displays provide deeper insights into the intricate beauty and diversity of butterflies. The aviary and gift shop together create a captivating experience for visitors of all ages.
