Tropical World at Alcorn’s opened its doors to the public in April 2011. It had been an ambition of founder and now director Clive Alcorn to bring a tropical butterfly house to Donegal after having visited Butterfly Farm in Stratford upon Avon, England with his wife about 6 years ago. During these 6 years ideas for this new project grew in Clive’s mind and eventually back in October 2010 work started on erecting a large glass house that would eventually be called Tropical World and become home to a wide range of fascinating plants and animals.
