Name a Butterfly After Your Mum This Mother's Day at Tropical Butterfly House 🦋

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and finding the perfect way to show your mum how much you appreciate her can feel like a bit of a mission. Flowers? Done that. Chocolates? Too easy. How about something really unique that’ll make her smile every time she thinks of it? Well, the Tropical Butterfly House Wildlife Conservation Park has got you covered.

This year, you can name a butterfly after your mum – and it’s actually as lovely as it sounds.

Make Mother’s Day Extra Special

This unique idea is back by popular demand for 2025 after being a hit last year. Whether your mum’s the type to go above and beyond, your stepmum’s always got your back, or you just want to remember someone special, this little gesture is a thoughtful way to show your love. You can even dedicate a butterfly to someone who’s no longer with us – a beautiful way to keep their memory alive.

For just £3.99, you’ll get a digital downloadable certificate with your mum’s name on it (or they can fill it in for you), and her name will be added to the Butterfly Board at the park. This will be revealed on Mother’s Day – Sunday, 30 March. Plus, you’re not just treating your mum – you’re also helping out local wildlife since all proceeds go towards the park’s conservation and animal enrichment projects.

How to Get Involved

Don’t leave it too late! Make sure to grab your certificate before 12 pm on Tuesday, 25th March by heading to the link below:
Name a Butterfly for Mum

If you’re planning to visit the park on the big day, there’s plenty more to enjoy. Look out for the Butterfly Stiltwalker, who’ll be floating around the park with her incredible giant bubble display. It’s happening right after the Animal Antics show – just keep your fingers crossed for good weather, as some activities might be weather-dependent.

Treat Mum to Something Sweet

While you’re there, don’t miss Lottie’s Coffee Lounge. It’s got a cracking selection of cakes, sweet treats, and hot drinks to keep you cosy. It’s the perfect little pit stop to make the day feel even more special.

Remember, regular admission charges still apply, so grab your tickets online:

A Park with a Purpose

The Tropical Butterfly House is more than just a day out – it’s a family-run zoo that’s been going strong for over 30 years. Home to more than 142 species, it’s a brilliant mix of butterflies, birds, mammals, and more. In 2023, they unveiled a new Butterfly House, designed to be energy-efficient and eco-friendly. They’re even planning a Bug House for 2024.

It’s not just about exotic wildlife either. The park is seriously committed to conserving British wildlife too. They manage 46.5 acres of land across Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, and Derbyshire, creating habitats for native species like tree sparrows, red deer, barn owls, and even grass snakes. So, when you visit or buy a butterfly name, you’re helping keep all that going.

Why It Matters

Let’s face it – mums do so much, and sometimes a card just doesn’t cut it. Naming a butterfly after your mum isn’t just quirky and thoughtful – it’s also helping protect wildlife and making a difference. Plus, it’s way more original than a box of chocolates.

So, if your mum’s one in a million, why not give her a little bit of forever this Mother’s Day? Pop her name on a butterfly, and make it a day she’ll never forget. 🦋
