Gladys OlivasJanuary 26, 2014This place is wonderful. Had an awesome experience! The butterflies fluttering by and landing on me. They also have a giant aquarium, a stingray section, an ant hill AND a beehive! Truly amazing!
Andra ZapartanMarch 5, 2016This is America's largest butterfly conservatory and it's full of awesomeness. ❤️
Desiree GastonJuly 31, 2018Looking to connect to nature in a cool environment? Bring yourself and your family to see over 3,000 butterflies. Stop at the cafe and visit the reptiles, bees and exotic fish before you leave.- Micah TutayApril 20, 2014This is a wonderful, family friendly place to visit. The butterflies seem to land on people wearing blue the most. It's amazing to watch the butterflies hatch. The aquarium was wonderful too!
- Alex LeeOctober 20, 2013Aside from the humidity which was optimized for the butterflylies, it is a nice placr to explore and enjoy a little nature. The 3D show was cool!!!
- Josefina RiosMay 26, 2014Just take your time and relax. Sit down and enjoy the peacefulness of the butterflies and don't freak out if one lands on you :-) oh and watch where you step :-)
Scot StecherMay 27, 2013Great new museum...fun for kids, as well as four 40s/50s adults. And should only get better as the butterfly species mature.
Margaret OverstreetJune 1, 2013A nice place to go next winter. The butterfly area will still be just as warm and humid, but it won't get to you as much then.- Natalie StarfishAugust 20, 2013I love letting the wonderful magical happy butterflies flutter by. Check out the stingray petting area too.
Todd KunaMarch 28, 2015Quite the plethora of butterflies and even a surprise stingray petting area at the end.
Jackie MicheleJuly 21, 2013Okay, not to be a downer but you go in, watch a 14 min. film, walk through the small exhibit, and exit through a 5 tank acquarium. I'm glad I didn't have to pay full price for this. Find a coupon...
Aly ChandonnetJuly 26, 2013Nice place! Back home we have a traveling exhibit only wish they would let you try to catch them.
Jeff RenselDecember 28, 2013Go early and wear colorful clothes so the butterflies will land on you! This place is cool!!
Tonia JohnsonDecember 22, 2013A bit over priced for the time you spend there. But still was a fun experience.
Shawn WrightMarch 14, 2014Ain't worth the money at $20 per adult and $16 per kid for a 20 minute entertainment.
Adam ClumpOctober 30, 2013Going to call ahead next time to see if there are any school field trips planned.
