My daughter & I visited on Saturday morning. She loves butterflies so it was so special to be able to see them flying around in this beautiful habitat. All of the volunteers were very friendly & willing to share information about the butterflies, etc.

Even though this is a smaller butterfly garden, there were tons of butterflies to enjoy. We enjoyed the gardens with the water features as well. My favorite part were the Chinese Lantern Quails. They were so adorable!

Wonderful experience! We saw over 20 different species of butterflies in the rainforest. The collections of preserved butterflies around the world was outstanding as well. 10/10 would visit again!
