The line seemed long, but moved pretty fast. Masks are mandatory, and people are encouraged to social distance. There are sanitation stations everywhere. The 3 d migration movie starts things off and is super cool. the exhibits are beautiful and there are so many photo ops. The butterfly house itself is so peaceful. It is humid in there , so prepare for that. It is simply magnificent and so worth going. So many different species.
Repeat visitor here. Had family visiting and we all went. It is a wonderful place. You can tell all the animals are friendly and well cared for. The butterfly conservatory is the best part you can wander around for a while and of course all the butterflies are beautiful. I've also gone in past with my daughter's high school class. She loves photographing the butterflies and you can spend the time to get great shots. The whole museum is great.
Butterfly wonderland is magical. The best time to go is around 10 when the butterflies are sunning themselves, emerging from the chrysalis, etc. But you will enjoy anytime if you love butterflies. The butterfly room is very humid, so wear cooler clothing. The more time you spend in there, the more you will enjoy it. The blue morphos are absolutely gorgeous and you can imagine how people mistook them for fairies... and definitely don't miss the bantam chickens and the bees. The 3D video is very cool.
After reading reviews we must have been there on a good day (Wednesday) because there were no crowds. We were able to take our time and get to really look at the emerging butterfly and the massive moths drying their wings. Walking through the butterfly enclosure was nice. The large variety of butterflies were fun. It was like strolling through a slightly busy garden.
The butterflies are amazing and obviously the reason to go. But the admission fee is so high for what you actually get! There's a 3D movie that we couldn't get into because it was full. There are some cool displays of butterflies, beetles and other insects, as well as a small aquarium area and some reptilian displays. The butterfly exhibit is a pretty tropical garden with paved sidewalks around the perimeter and a koi pond in the center. There were a couple of little dwarf chickens as well, and some tropical bird species. You basically just walk around and/or sit and view the wildlife in the hopes of getting one to land on you. It is very nice. But whoa expensive. The child admission fee would have been more suitable for general admission. Adult admission was ludicrous. I was definitely expecting more for that price!
