The butterflies are neat, but the price is too high. The place is fairly small - the greenhouse room for the butterflies is just that, a large room maybe 70 x 80. I was expecting more. That said, we made the best of things and enjoyed it. I wouldn't go back or recommend it to anybody pric-conscious, however.
The butterflies are neat but for the price it is pretty boring for kids Really only takes about a half hr to see what you want and thats stretching it! Nice well taken care of place though
I take my little guy here every year to see the butterflies. The butterflies are really amazing and fly around you freely. The iguana is also a big attraction for my little one. Love the gardens outside too.
I felt like I had to be persistent with my photography after we paid our money, otherwise it would have been too easy to feel very disappointed. We've been to really great butterfly places on St. Martin and at Niagara Falls, so even though the cost was much lower here, it felt like an inferior value since there really wasn't that much to see. Our visit on St. Martin came with a guide who explained about the butterflies. Niagara Falls was absolutely amazing with the number of butterflies. I guess if I hadn't been to such spectacular ones before, I might have been more pleased.
The Butterfly House packs a lot into a small space. They have a good variety of butterflies (many of which will land on the visitor), but also have wonderful feeding and resting areas for them. There are lovely ponds with koi, and feeders with nectar and fruit or sponges. There are also displays of the development of a butterfly from pupa to chrysalis, and bees in a honeycomb (both behind glass). My greatniece was fascinated with this lovely spot.
We bought a pumpkin for halloween here. DO NOT DO IT! Way overpriced first of all, but more importantly was the fact that IT ROTTED AND CAVED IN ON ITSELF 2 DAYS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT. It made the whole house stink. Pissed, because they had to have left those pumpkins just sitting there for over a month before it would have rotted out like that.
A nice day looking at and photographing a wide variety of butterflies. The atmosphere was good, clean and just a nice time spent.
Really enjoyed an afternoon here, the butterflies are stunning and with the classical music playing in the background it is so relaxing and serene. The premises are clean with plenty of parking and a nice garden area.It was worth the trip and the staff were very pleasant . Lots of different butterflies to photograph or just watch. Excellent.
This is an amazing place.I saw butterflies I had never seen and they ere beautiful. A great place to take al ages. Also the gift shop wa a treaseure trove of gifts for all ages. Especially education gifts for the youngsters. Took about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, plussome gift shop time. You can just sit in the area and the butterflies will come sit with you or even on you!
Looking for something different? This place is more fun than you would expect. Great for kids, but interesting and fun for all. They have a great corn maze too.
