This was making tourists lough, also there was a shopping store but it was covered by a garden with high humidity and little butterflies.

If you love butterflies, tropical flowers and interesting insects, this is the place for you. Our boys loved having butterflies land on them while exploring this lush and massive indoor garden. Almost every color and size of butterfly you can imagine is represented here. One of them had to be 2 feet wide ? yikes! The stick insects and praying mantis were a favourite too. Great fun for everyone.
