To see the Butterfly Farm is to see the beauty of nature. To walk inside and see the many species of butterflies and moths, and to hear the knowledgalbe staff explain the life-cycle, and point out things you would never see otherwise is great.

Took the informational tour and spent a couple of hours here. Very informative, educational and interesting. Go around 3 or 4 in the afternoon when the butterflies are intoxicated. It's easier to get good photos. Great experience! More

We went here on the first day of vacation and it was the perfect way to ease into it. The whole experience is very zen. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the whole tour only took about 20 minutes but we stayed in total for over an hour. Also, go early in the vacation because you can go back... More
