What families say

The butterfly wing is the clear favorite here, with families and photographers alike calling it a highlight, and reviewers also mention giant stick bugs, sculptures, and beautifully kept grounds that shift with the seasons (tulips in spring, cozy tropical warmth in the butterfly enclosure during winter). It's described as good for all ages and a nice full day of outdoor exploring, though plan for about $12/adult admission (free for ISU students, no senior discount noted). There's also a small gift shop for plants and souvenirs on the way out.
