Beautiful place! Well... - Beautiful place! Well worth experience. It's not a big place but it looks like a jungle and the butterflies are amazing. If you are lucky you can watch some coming out of their cocoon!

Butterflies are really cool! - A tropical greenhouse in the centre of Vienna - it’s something slightly different. Won’t take you too long to go round, it is quite small, but it is also not expensive. The butterflies are beautiful and you can get up close to them. If you’re very lucky one will even land on you!

Great experience for all ages. - The house was beautiful, lots of interesting facts about the butterflies. The flowers and butterflies were incredible to see. Great experience, highly recommend. It was hot in mid August but worth the money.

Nicely set up - It was nicely set up. There weren't that many butterflies this time, but that might be different next time. There were many flowers planted now in December. You can go up a (fake) tree with a staircase to get to a bridge and down the other side. It's not mega-sized. And is also a shop at where you can buy knickknacks. I also saw a room at the back of the wardrobe where you can watch a movie.

Such a sweet experience - Not a big place but nonetheless a very sweet experience. Be patient and hang around... you might be lucky enough that these gracious creatures fly on you.

Great-ish. - Very nice to see the wonderful plants and butterfly's. Crowded at times though and cheaper to purchase the ticket at the place rather then on any website. Half the price at the door! And no wait FYI

You can skip - Nice to see but super crowed and overrated! 15 min max to see everything around. Not a must see, there are other options way better

Beautiful grounds. Meh experience. - Overall it was pretty. Very quick. Also, the ticket lady was extremely rude! We were such an inconvenience because we used our app and not printed tickets.

Vienna Opera Resale Tickets - We wanted to go to the opera, but there were no tickets. When we passed the building we saw some men in vintage dress offering you resale tickets. We bought two to 60 euros each and were assured that they were good seats, in a box on the side of the stage. When we arrived they had no visibility at all. They were in the second row and nothing was visible. You had to stand to see only half the stage. The ticket cost them 16€ and they sold it to us at 60€ saying that they had bought it a long time ago. QUITE A SCAM. It was an agent of the tour bus company Hop on Hop Off who sold it to us

Bad. - Don't go there! It's genocide, dead butterflies in every corner. If you care about the environment you don't pay to feed this shit
