Was more than what I expected. Absolutely loved going through the butterfly room and the rainforest room.

The Audubon Aquarium has had so much improvement in the last two years since I visited! The insectarium is very interactive and engaging for all ages! The butterfly garden is an amazing experience! In the aquarium they’ve added a VR experience, which is blending in even more new technology! We had the best time!

The insectarium was full of literature on the bugs and tons of other information. The aquarium on the other hand was often hard to tell what marine life was in the given tank and the information available was often wrong. Overall this was a fun experience.
