Last day of the 2025 season will be October 5th, 2025.
These are just some of the butterflies you'll see while visiting The Butterfly Haven
Here at the Butterfly Haven, we love field trips. We love teaching all of the kids about butterflies, their life cycles and answering any fun questions they have. When you book a field trip, you don’t just book fun, you also book learning. When you arrive at The Butterfly Haven, we gather all the kids to see what they already know and teach them some new things about the life cycle of a butterfly. Then they get to go inside the butterfly house to see and discover it for themselves. While they are here, they will see eggs, caterpillars, chrysalis and butterflies; as well as, birds and lots and lots of plants and flowers for the butterflies. They will learn about what a host plant is versus a nectar plant. Call today to book your students fun educational field trip. 208-684-3702

The Butterfly Haven started as a dream for us about 15 years ago. We have grown tomatoes and fresh herbs in our greenhouses for 31 years supplying grocery store chains in the intermountain region. We were not using all of our greenhouse space and decided to turn our dream into reality. Butterflies are important in our world. Butterflies and bees are necessary to pollinate about 75% of the flowering plants. But butterflies are slowly declining because of all of the pesticides we apply to get rid of bugs we don’t want. We hope you will come and enjoy a visit among the Idaho butterflies supported by their host and nectar plants. Listen to the murmur of the waterfall and the song of the canaries. We hope your visit will encourage you to support the need to protect and cultivate butterflies in our communities. Learn about host plants to support the caterpillars and nectar plants to feed the butterflies in your own neighborhood. We are a family owned and operated business. We raised our four children here and our two daughters are still an integral part of our business. Say “hi” to Sarah and Susannah when you see them! ~ Randy & Karen
