Rebuilding costs after Hurricane Ivan were also a factor.

The butterflies, which have a lifespan of around 2 weeks, will be allowed to die out and will not be replaced. The gift shop will remain open until the weekend.

The company behind the attraction also operates farms in Aruba, St Martin and St Thomas. All are doing well and will remain open.
