About

Step inside this 80,000-square-foot butterfly flight cage, and experience thousands of butterflies up-close.

Inside the lushly vegetated flight cage within the park is like being inside a snow globe filled with fluttering butterflies of all shapes, sizes, and colors. It has been rated as one of the best, if not THE best, butterfly flight cages in the world. The site also offers views of other insects and a museum of numerous insects and other specimens. There is even a scorpion pit.
