My aunt and I went to this place on Tuesday. Although we were told there were very few butterflies out and about, we did see some. I was concerned about one that right there on the path, fearing that other people would step on it, and kill it. Then one of the staff carefully picked it up, and put it back in the garden, saving its life. I was never more relieved.

The butterfly habitat was beautiful and you can tell the staff really care for the butterflies and other wildlife. There's lots to explore just within the butterfly habitat itself and the rest of the museum is nice. The gift shop has lots of local artists!

This is by far a magical place! Students with A grade in science get in for free, I printed my son's report card and showed it to them at the entrance. This is a plus! It is not a big place but was worth every penny of the ticket. I was wearing blue and red and it is the butterflies favorite colors, within minutes I had butterflies landing on me big as my hand. There are also small birds around and so cute. You can sit in different places on benches and just relax. Also, there are showcases with butterflies all over inside of the adjacent museum! AMAZING!
