This was a super cute place to go. There were so many butterflies. It was a very nice experience. There are a lot of stairs so it was also a good workout. I loved seeing butterflies land on people and how excited they got. Nice waterfall as well. The area is very humid so also be aware of that but overall very beautiful.

Nice stop on our vacation. Butterflies are always nice to see. What I loved, but didn't expect, was the iguana just chilling on the wall. He'd just look around and then go back to napping. When you look up you get a good view of the butterflies just flying around inside the glass dome. Pretty good list of species too. Watching them hatch and flap to unfurl their wings was great. 😊 Sorry for the lack of pictures inside the done but I didn't want to miss the experience.
