“The Otago Museum's mind-blowing butterfly forest - you won't believe your eyes!”
Tūhura’s Tropical Forest is the only three-tier live butterfly experience in Australasia! At around 28 degrees and 75% humidity year-round, it’s warm and welcoming. Witness the release of newly-emerged butterflies as they take wing for the very first time or persuade a colourful butterfly to land on your shoulder.
Encounter exotic butterflies, giant stick insects, tarantulas, terrapins and other rainforest dwellers – it’s a world away but right here in Dunedin.
