butterfly house
Enclosed butterfly habitat
A butterfly house is an enclosed structure—typically a greenhouse or large netted enclosure—where live butterflies fly freely among visitors.
These attractions feature tropical plants and controlled temperatures to sustain species from around the world: The children loved walking through the butterfly house at the botanical garden.
Also called a butterfly conservatory or butterfly pavilion.
