A lovely place to spend a couple of hours. You can hold Rosy the tarantula, look at lots in interesting insects, and walk among the butterflies. The butterfly enclosure itself is not large, but is densely packed with many species. It's a nice place to go on a cold day, as they keep it pretty warm in the pavilion-proper. There is a gift shop with mementos and toys, some quasi-educational, and a little play area for the very young to work out some energy -- the place is naturally somewhat geared toward kids. Our four-year-old loves the place, which is really probably all that needs to be said in a review.
