About

Visitors generally find the butterfly house a magical, serene spot, especially when the butterflies land on them. However, many feel the experience is too short and the entry fee is a bit steep for what you get. The greenhouse gets incredibly hot and humid, which some find uncomfortable, though it is a welcome escape on cooler days. The gift shop is a major hit, often cited as one of the best on the island. Overall, it is a nice, peaceful stop if you manage your expectations regarding the size and heat.
