A Great Visit Whatever The Weather
Welcome to the Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary and Buckfast Butterfly Farm.
A small, friendly, family run South Devon attraction, ideal for a family visit whatever the weather.
VISIT
Opening Times & Admission
We aim to be open every day between 10.30am and 3pm during January but essential maintenance may mean we have to close at short notice, so please check this website on the day before travelling to confirm.
We are now in the overwintering stage in the butterfly house so butterflies will be hibernating. However on a bright sunny morning there may be a few on the wing to enjoy.
The otters are not seasonal and are on good form all year round.
You may pre-book tickets if you wish by clicking on the green box below or you can purchase them on arrival.
Please see our Plan Your Visit page for further details and admission prices.
