Conservation Note
The garden focuses on education and captive breeding/display rather than wild habitat restoration; visitors should avoid touching non-designated specimens to minimize stress and disease transmission.
Opened in 2015 as an addition to Dubai Miracle Garden, the indoor facility was designed to replicate humid habitats so exotic butterfly species can thrive in a desert setting.
