Best part of the trip. Relatively small space, but absolutely beautiful. One surprise was all the small birds in addition to the butterflies.

As a family celebrating our son's 21st bday and his starting at UF this yr it was a great experience. While reading about the butterflies two butterflies landed on my son at two different time, unfortunately I missed taking a photo. I would definitely recommend this place, not only for the Butterfly forest, but to also learn about all the artifacts and fossils.

The rainforest was a beautiful design of art and nature. Lots of photo opportunities and education. Very serene and a great place to escape the day to day. (The gift shop didn’t disappoint either! ) Building offers other rooms to explore free of charge. Restrooms clean.
Having said. Zero stars for trip advisor. My tickets were sent to an incorrect email and I was not refunded- so I had to pay twice. Get your tickets directly there. No price difference and they offered additional packages to see the spider exhibit.
