Amazing family experience
This was such a cool experience for our family. And quite easy from start to finish. My kids (and me and my husband) were amazed to watch these fuzzy caterpillars grow, cocoon and then hatch. Will be doing it again and again!

awful customer service
my son received this kit for his birthday. I was shocked to discover that I need to pay $9 to get the caterpillars shipped to us; after all, this was a gift. when I called to explain that this was a gift and out of principal I don't want to pay a fee to receive the caterpillars, two different customer service agents were not only unhelpful, but rude. now I'm forced to p...

Will not use again. Terrible customer service
Will not use again I was sent a box without a card for butterflies and the tree holder for the chrysalis holder. They want me to send the box and code to them. Are they paying the postage? No

Success.
We live in the country and love seeing butterflies. I plant flowers that should attract them. So I thought this project would be fun.
I was pleased that all were hatched. A couple had damaged wings, but the rest flew away. I had hoped I would see them in my yard, but I haven’t.

I ordered this for my grandson for easter who lives out of state. I thought I bought the kit so they just needed to send voucher in but it had a shopping charge. It was very confusing. I didn't want them to have to pay and they didn't send the voucher in. I spent all that money for a "bug catcher" I had ordered one years ago and my kids liked watching the butterfly stag...

5 Stars!!!!
My auntie did this years ago when I was younger, and I’ve always wanted to do it with my kids. Well, guess what? They’re finally old enough! We had 9 out of 10 of them transform into beautiful butterflies today! There’s still one little caterpillar hanging around because he wasn’t quite ready for his big change!

Purchased this for my 6 year old grand daughter who does not live in the same town as I do. She really enjoyed it!
As they were taking a video of the butterflies emerging, you could hear her excitedly telling her mom to share the video with Nanna! 🦋💙🦋

I’ve been buying the Butterfly
I’ve been buying the Butterfly Garden as gifts for friends and family since my son was a child - he’s 44 now! Just gave one to my grandchildren ages 11, 9 and 5. They were not enthusiastic until the caterpillars started to move around and we read what to expect and what was involved. The 2 oldest are excited about it now. The 5 year old is taking a little longer but he ...
