We had a wonderful time. I’d go early and tour the gardens first before it gets hot. The Butterfly house has a very nice temperature and so many beautiful butterflies flittering around. Booking through Trip Advisor saved us some money.
Going to the discovery garden was a nice experience, seeing many type of butterflies in one place is a great way to learn different varieties of butterflies, but ticket can be pricey.
Lots to here including seeing the axolotl, snakes and turtles. The gardens themselves, while not the biggest we've been to were very pleasant to walk around on a warm Sunday afternoon. We also enjoyed the outdoor model railway layout. We were a bit surprised there was no cafe though it was a nice touch to have complimentary coffee available by the reception. Nice tubs of Texan ice cream were also on sale for just $1.
Such a great experience. Really nice! Went here for Valentine’s Day. They were setting up for a wedding. Beautiful wedding venue.
🦋 Butterfly House. The volunteer was very knowledgeable and helpful and friendly we enjoyed it very much. We enjoyed learning about How you obtain store and hatch the butterflies..
