Reviews
"My daughter (She’s 6 now but we’ve been coming for few years) and I absolutely love spending time here. We have spent many hours playing and relaxing. You enter through the outdoor pollinator garden and you make your donation and get info on butterflies and how to be a butterfly guardian at the gift shop. The last time we visited I saw humming birds in the outdoor pollinators garden. Theres quite a bit to explore. There’s the inside butterfly garden with the two relaxing swinging benches, flowers and butterflies all around you. Then there’s the bunnies and turtles, and carnivorous plants, the play area that’s fun for kids big and small! There’s a fast slide, a hobbit tunnel, music exhibit, sand box, water feature, animal tracks exhibit, and lots more! My daughter could spend all day in their fairy garden. Also the puppet Stage! There’s plenty to do and picnic benches do you can have lunch. It’s a non profit educational gem in our community and I highly recommend visiting."
"Very nice. Was given a Caterpillar when i purchased a butterfly weed. This is what became of it. Shared this experience with my 7 year old grandson and we loved it. She is now set free."
"A gem of a spot, especially for kids of all ages. We will definitely be coming back throughout the season to see what kinds of butterflies are in the pavilion (we saw painted ladies in late May) and how the tadpoles have grown in the Frog Den. The gardening throughout the center is quite lovely and focuses on native pollinator and butterfly-friendly flowers and plants. The nature playground is incredible and is more like an outdoor, hands-on children’s museum. Beautiful, thoughtful play and learn areas include a shaded sandbox, a water cycle play area, a puppet theater with its own handmade life-size wooden dragon prop and cloth puppets, upcycled materials musical instruments, fairy gardens, and a slide and tunnel play area. There was a scavenger hunt and wildlife tracking game for older kids. We could have spent hours there. Can’t wait to return and support this wonderful educational center!"
"Better than I expected. Still developing but great vision for the future. There is a lot for the little ones to see and do. More than just butterflies! A nice place to spend a couple hours."
