Our towering trees, ever-blooming shrubs, and rich vegetation offer a lovely, tropical retreat. In this area, bromeliads, delicate orchids, and lush vines cling to every surface.  

Our avocado, coffee, papaya, and chocolate trees bear fruit on a regular basis. And our daily butterfly releases are often the highlight of a visit to the Garden. 

Come indulge your senses, Costa Rican style. 

Glasshouse Closure Updates

Due to renovations, butterfly releases in the Costa Rica Biome have been cancelled for the duration of the season.

The Costa Rica Biome within The Eleanor Armstrong Smith Glasshouse is currently closed for renovations. We will continue to communicate updates and a reopening date as the project progresses. The Madagascar Biome will remain open. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
