I have had multiple wonderful experiences with Idlewild Butterfly Farm! Not only do you get to play with bugs and see fascinating butterflies, but in the spring they have a large diverse stock of hard-to-find native butterfly and pollinator plants. The whole staff is very professional and accommodating. I highly recommend visiting and shopping at Idlewild!

I've been to Idlewild for both a general tour and their Mothball event. Both times were incredibly educational, fascinating, and fun. I recently ordered their Painted Lady caterpillar kit for my cousin, who is five and lives in Florida. She is immune-compromised, and during Corona her family has been looking for things to do. They got the kit and it initially did not have instructions. A quick email to Idlewild fixed that. They loved watching their caterpillars grow up, and all of them eventually emerged as butterflies! She was so excited to release them, and had a fantastic experience. I will definitely be ordering from them again, and hope one day I can bring her to visit!

We thoroughly enjoyed the Creepy Things event! The decor was great and the was a perfect mix of enough lighting to see but still feel a little spooky. There were tons of great things to do from enjoying the creepy crawlies in the insect lab to browsing the amazing shop to searching for spiders in the spider house outdoors. although we didn't utilize them it was nice to see both a food truck and beer vendor on-site as many others were enjoying their services. The presentation by Blake Newton from the University of Kentucky on Medical Entomology was a great addition. The kids loved the cockroach racing and it was awesome to get to hold some of the bugs. Perhaps most importantly was the staff which was very helpful and friendly and quick to share fun educational facts about the bugs!

Fun free little place, well the outdoors butterfly part is free. Definitely fun for little kiddos. There is a paid portion where they do a tour of apparently a lot of exotic and international bugs, beetles, and lots of more critters. So you have good options here! Will be back
