Butterflies everywhere! - It was so lush and tropical inside. I learned about Butterflies big and small. Also saw turtles, Koi fish, birds, and Mango the Flamingo 🦩 Lots of places to just sit and watch for us older folks.

Better Than Expected! - My husband and I were thinking that this attraction would be more focussed for children but were very pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed our visit. The insect display when you first enter is very interesting and informative. We were amazed at the length of the stick bugs! The gardens are lush and contain many different types of butterflies as well as a very friendly iguana, a 50 year old flamingo - Mango, 4 Macaws, 2 African Grays, other assorted birds and turtles. It was great to hear that all of them have come from rescue situations and was so positive to see that the birds were able to fly free within the building. Very warm and tropical feeling on a cold wet day.

A piece of paradise - This place was recommended by some locals whom we met in Vancouver Canada, and it does not disappoint. We caught the number 75 bus from the hotel and it’s great.

Three generations out to see butterflies - I was surprised to see more than just butterflies. A flamingo, turtles, and other surprises. It is a small venue, but worth it. The kids wanted to go around again and they never want to do that. Affordable price too.

Fun! - Several animal species in addition to the butterflies and the butterflies were well displayed, roaming free and part of an educational window as well. Lots of good photo opportunities.

Place was packed and no staff in sight - The building is nice and their setup seems good, but the place was PACKED with people of all ages making it hard to see anything or enjoy the visit because you had to try hard not to bump into people. Additionally, there were turtles walking around the path with people and no staff were there to make sure the turtles were safe (not stepped on accidentally or being harassed). Would have enjoyed it much more if there were about half the people there. Maybe they could find a better way to limit the number of people in the garden at one time.
