Description
The path offers close encounters with up to 80 species of butterflies and moths, which sometimes land on passing visitors. Plant lovers will find an impressive variety of tropical and native vegetation, and a dedicated area allows you to witness the process of butterflies being born. Because the space is kept noticeably warm, visitors dressed for colder weather may want to shed layers before entering. The exhibition can feel crowded, and because butterflies roam freely, you must watch your step. The space is wheelchair accessible.
