💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Rent a butterfly feeder when visiting the butterfly house - it's an affordable add-on that significantly enhances the experience by allowing butterflies to land directly on flowers you're holding for up-close viewing
  • 💡Check ahead before visiting as touch pools and touch tanks may have variable closure schedules - call to confirm these interactive experiences are available on your visit date
  • 💡Plan 1-2 hours for your visit as this is a smaller attraction - combine the butterfly house and aquarium sections to maximize your experience in a compact timeframe
  • 💡Use membership discount codes when ordering food at Roar Café and place orders ahead to skip lines and save money on dining
  • 💡This venue is ideal for young children ages 5-6+ who will enjoy interactive elements like the butterfly feeder activity and sea creature viewing, though some may need lower expectations if touch tanks are closed
