This was so fun! I was hesitant to spend $14/person but it is so worth it! There is no rush through the gardens so you can spend as much time as you want and they have presentations every so often to learn more about the butterflies and conservation. There are hundreds of butterflies and it feels magical. I was more than happy knowing my ticket fee went towards research and facility maintenance.
