Rainforest Theater

The Rainforest Theater is the perfect place for guests to begin their Butterfly Palace excursion. It is great family fun, appropriate for even the younger adventurers in your exploration party. At anytime during the guest’s rainforest excursion, they are encouraged to go and view our Educational Video on the Hidden World of the Butterfly Palace (2D) and Flight of the Butterflies (3D) located in the Rainforest Theater.

Emerald Forest Mirror Maze

Exploring the rainforest beneath its thick, green canopy is a dream most people never get to experience. At The Butterfly Palace and Rainforest Adventure in Branson, visitors have the opportunity to have a peak into what this journey might feel like. Stepping into the Emerald Forest Mirror Maze and it is immediately apparent that everything is not exactly as it appears. Don’t forget it is evening in the Emerald Forest, with small patches of light just peeking through the trees, so adult accompaniment is recommended for our youngest of explorers!
