Butterfly & Insect World review

Butterflies of every size flutter free in this enclosed, tropically humid greenhouse. Safely behind glass, however, are the lizards, bats, glow-in-the-dark scorpions and numerous other creepy-crawlies. For the more adventurous of your offspring, the jovial keepers lead handling sessions, involving snakes, tarantulas and very brave children, at noon and 3pm daily. On Fridays, after the 3pm session, you can cure more phobias at the snake-pit feeding session. A useful option if the weather turns.
