A garden for the family - Fun space for little ones of all ages! Our kids (1.5 and 5.5) loved exploring it as much as did and roamed for well over an hour in the space. Do come in t-shirts because the space is very hot and humid.

Good place to visit if you have kids or love butterflies - A neat little place to visit if you've got kids or are really into butterflies. There are a few parrots and some little finches (or maybe sparrows?) also, as well as a flamingo, turtles, lots of koi, and a big iguana.
Facilities were clean. Overall it was very relaxing and good use of time.

Mango the Flamingo - There are butterflies, parrots, turtles, tortoises, fish, poisonous frogs, a bird-eating spider, and at least one iguana, but the star was Mango the flamingo. It was great to get up close and observe how he spends his time.
It's worth spending an hour on the exhibit room, garden room, and gift shop, but you could easily get through in half an hour if pressed for time.

Tropical Paradise - I went with my class to butterfly gardens and they had an amazing experience. This is a great introduction to evolution units and explaining the diversity of the animal kingdom. They were thrilled to be there.

Good place to visit. - This attraction was lovely. So many butterflies and they were just freely flying around and nearly hitting you. There was parrots, flamingos, turtles and even a tarantula spider there. Lovely staff who told you everything about the place.

Crap App - It was garbage, you didn’t give times for getting in and we were on a cruise ship that was going in at later times. When our group tried to communicate and cancel within your timeframe we were met with chaos and misinformation and wound up completely missing the event. But you kept the money.
Crap App.
