Butterfly Garden
Butterfly Garden Review
Step into this 10,000-square-foot mesh enclosure and watch hundreds of colorful, exotic butterflies flutter all around you. A 25-minute tour takes you through their life cycle. Outside the enclosure, you can wander a garden of native plants designed to attract local butterflies and hummingbirds. There's also a bird show with cockatoos and parrots riding bicycles and engaging in other antics that takes place at 9:30 am, 11 am, 1 pm, and 3 pm. The butterflies are most active in the morning. If you're a photographer, you'll probably prefer the afternoon, when the butterflies move more slowly and are more easily captured in a picture.
