Such a cool place! I've never been anywhere like Butterfly Wonderland before. It felt like a tropical forest in there! There was the heat, the humidity, being surrounded by greenery and then, of course, the exotic butterflies fluttering about!
I will admit, it took me some getting used to. I typically flinch at things flitting about. And let me tell you, they flit! But they are gorgeous and they are so interesting to watch and admire (surprisingly enough). We noticed that if you are wearing colorful clothing and you sit on the benches, butterflies will land on you. It's pretty fun, actually.
I was super intrigued by the really cool exhibit right at the entrance of the wonderland rainforest. It shows you each step of the transformation process from caterpillar to butterfly. Super cool! And, on the way out, they have a cool room with big aquariums and some sweet fish. There's also a pool in the middle where you can pet the sting-rays. Not sure if this will stay once the aquarium opens up next door, but I think it should!
I actually found a few cute items at the gift shop and I genuinely enjoyed my visit. What a fun place to spend an afternoon with the family!
