 Butterfly Garden, the greatest children's gift! June 18, 2008
We have bought a number of Butterly Gardens and refill butterfly kits over the last few years, for our own kids, their classrooms, and birthday presents for friends. The butterfly experience has excited and inspired everyone (including the adults) who have been able to witness the metamorphosis. I can't recommend this highly enough!
 Cool toy, but they leave out the catch.. gotta pay more $ June 17, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I too thought it would include the caterpillars and food.
The package I recieved included the mesh cage thing and a dropper for the food and instructions (for 15.00?) and to recieve the caterpillars you have to send away another $3.00 plus the stamp. the kicker for me was that i gave it to muy daughter as a present and i didn't find out until we open the package. Too late to return it, almost like they know that and depend on it.
I still think it is a cool toy, but i do feel decieved, I wish they would just write that in the description. I will not be ordering again from them because of this false (not telling the whole truth) product listing..
Butterfly pavilion June 15, 2008
HUGE, and perfect if you need to put in a plant that the caterpillars are enjoying eating so you can watch them grow and turn into a butterfly. Top opens up and it's so easy to get in and out of this pavilion. My girls love it, now they are housing a ton of ladybugs so it's got a whole bunch of possibilities :)
great gift June 13, 2008
My daughter loved watching these butterflies develop. They were only caterpillars for about 4 days and then in their cacoon for about 3 days, maybe because of the heat. 4 out of 5 of the butterflies made it!
 Fun and educational, but long wait for caterpillars. June 13, 2008
The Butterfly Pavilion is a really fun and educational item, but you do not receive the caterpillars with the pavilion. When you get the pavilion you have to send in $5 extra to get the caterpillars. After sending in the money we waited 3 weeks and then they finally came. I was disappointed because you would think the price for the caterpillars would be included in the 24.99 with the pavilion. My daughter asked me everyday where the caterpillars were when we checked the mail. I tried calling costumer service many times only I never got to talk to a person after waiting in hold for over 20 minutes several different times. I even left a message after picking an extension and never received a call back. If I would have know this now I would have ordered the more expensive one from the TV. At least that one comes with the caterpillars at the same time. The one we got also does not come with the DVD and poster that the other one comes with.
