Later hours would be nice. The grounds are so nice we walked around and then found out the place closed so early and had 10 min inside.

I enjoyed the fact that I could walk in a habitat constructed just for the butterfly and human observation. Pathways take up up and down and around and through their environment. The butterflies are free to fly and feed where they want. It's breathtaking.
