    I have a nephew that loves bugs and so loves this place. It's gorgeous and there is a tarantula that will make your skin crawl. You can't miss out!

    Great place to kill 2-3 hours with kids that will even leave adults entertained

    Try to go on warmer days, if it's too cold outside the butterflies won't be as active.
