Good. I enjoyed it. Lots to do and see. Very neat experience. Will go back.
I went to the butterfly palace the other day with my mother and my 11 month old son. My sone really enjoyed seeing all the butterflies flying around. You should go earlier in the day while they are really flying around. I guess they just hand out near the end of the day. They do offer military discounts ($1 off ticket price.) When you go in there is a large gift shop and you get a wristband and go upstairs ( a HUGE ramp) and watch a 15 minute long 3-D video of a butterflys life span (they also have electric wheelchairs) then after the video the doors open and you go into the butterfly room. It is very pretty with many different kinds of plants and a real rock wall. After that you can go through the maze. It is made of mirrors and pretty dark in there so it is very confusing!! But really fun. They also have the critter center which is not much but a couple reptiles but this place was worth the money!!! And it is year round!!!
