What families say

Families rave about the beautifully maintained free gardens, with wildlife (bees, bunnies, turtles) and accessible paths making for a relaxing couple-hour walk, plus a paid butterfly exhibit that most kids and adults find amazing—though a few younger children got a bit spooked by the hundreds of butterflies flying so close. It's often crowded but still feels peaceful, and the visitor center has restrooms, a gift shop, and friendly staff. Plan for a couple of hours, and decide ahead whether the butterfly add-on is worth it for littler ones who might be nervous around swarms of insects.
