My wife loved this experience and can’t wait to come back. This place is very romantic and beautiful for couples and butterflies are everywhere and will land on you repeatedly if you have on very bright or neon colors. You will love this place for sure, especially the women.

I agree with Sabrina. Stairs are an issue and I recall that paths being rather narrow. They should be fine for a wheelchair, but there didn't seem to be a bounty of maneuvering space.

How long does do people typically stay here?

Joe | Oct 27, 2019
Randy Smith | Oct 27, 2019

There is no time restriction. Usually I spend about 90 minutes in the butterfly center before moving to on to the museum. You could easily spend hours, if you wanted.
