It was perfect with its architecture, plants and environment. I really found the service provided very successful. It is a one-way tour. There are directions and voice warnings. It is forbidden to touch butterflies 🚫

Museum card is not accepted. You can enter as a student or adult by purchasing a ticket. Parking is available and free. Enjoy watching
It is one of the must-see places during your Konya trip. Parking is available, entrance fee is 150 TL as of May 2024. It consists of two different parts with butterflies and insects. Since efforts were made to create a natural habitat for butterflies, an open area was built where temperature and humidity were controlled. There are artificial water sources here. It is very enjoyable to watch butterflies flying freely. Since it is hot inside, you can be careful about choosing clothes.
