Natura Review - Such a cool experience to see butterflies up close, we even got to hold one! And We got some really cool pictures up close of frogs! Ashley (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) was our tour guide for the frogs and snakes and tortoises. She did an amazing job she got us up close pictures and was very informative! Thank you!

For animal and nature lovers! - 5/5 because we saw red eyed tree frogs!
We were most interested in the frogs and snakes, and a guide shows you through these exhibits. Our guide was excellent and very informative. Then we saw some poisonous frogs and a red eyed tree frog in the wild! What perfect timing. Also the butterfly house was very good.

Good Enough for 90 minutes of entertainment - Natura Eco Park was the closest thing to a Zoo we visited. It's privately funded, no government support. The butterfly garden is highlight, the huge tented dome has plenty of beautiful butterflies from a variety of different species. The reptile and frog section had multiple exhibits, but it was difficult to see half the animals because the glass was dirty and fogged due to the weather. The crocodiles ponds were bit more exciting, some these scary creatures were casually moving about. The birds and rabbits needed bigger cages. The place overall is small and feels rundown, you won't need more than 1.5-2 hours here to see everything. I wouldn't make this a top priority on your Costa Rica adventures, but if some extra time to kill, it's entertaining enough.
Seemed pricy for $42, though I suppose it goes to a good cause(hopefully!), and it's $37 if pay cash instead, which we did.

Superb butterfly aviary - We did this park to see animals that we could only see by doing night tours.
We started the visit with the butterfly aviary and it was a magical experience to evolve among these superb butterflies including the blue Morpho!
Afterwards we continued our visit passing over a bridge overlooking crocodiles.
Then a guide came to pick us up to show us terrariums with frogs of all colors, toads, snakes and turtles.
Then a walk that winds through the woods to return to the entrance.
I recommend

Visit a sanctuary instead of a for profit exhibition - We were excited to see the butterfly house exhibit with our kids. Natura claimed to be a park concerned for the preservation and research to help the species they host. The butterfly house was a disappointment. They have few butterflies and they all seem to want to get out of there. My guess is they do not have the right set of flowers for the species they have there. When we asked for a written guide so we could identify the butterflies the person up front told us that they do not have one because they do not know. She told us that they buy the butterflies every two weeks so they keep changing (and it’s not worth their time to document). This probably explains why the butterflies seem to be eager to leave since it’s not designed for specific species and flowers tailored for that species. In the end we felt bad spending money here! It encourages the wrong behavior for businesses to monetize the exhibition of animals instead of helping them, educating, and improving their lives.
