Great short or long visit--your ticket lets you come and go all day. There was a line to get in but so worth it to see all the butterflies and birds (flamingoes are Rhett and Scarlett!)

Fun for all ages but the kids will love it. So many beautiful butterflies flying around and landing near and even on you. The birds are also a special treat. Be sure to ask the knowledgeable guides how the new butterflies are moved from their “nursery” to their new home. It isn’t how you would expect. Highly recommended. Don’t miss this!

An amazing place! We loved walking through and seeing all the butterflies. There were so many flying around it was sometimes hard to know where to look. I loved all the birds too. The two flamingos were adorable. All the staff was super helpful and the gift shop had a wide variety of butterfly and garden themed items.
