This place is so good so we went twice ! The place is interactive, educational and fun. It is not just a butterfly farm. It also has other creatures like snakes, spiders, reptiles and birds. There is some amazing photography of insects up close plus activities like silk spinning.

We sat outside the little café and drank in the sound of the waterfall. If you're lucky, those lit...
