Once you enter the actual greenhouse area there's tons of plants and animals to see and there's even little interactive stations for kids (or adults) to have extra fun. :)

As a couple adults, we had a nice time but maybe slightly underwhelmed. The butterfly room has some interesting and unusual creatures. I enjoyed the many tanks of walking sticks, not something you see commonly. There are some great tropical fish tanks, colorful birds and lizards. I was hoping for a greater variety of plants. The temperature is very comfortable and the facility is well cared for. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

Animals...... I love them!…read more So given the name of this place, its target audience is children and not adults like myself, but I can't help but be drawn to a petting zoo of sorts in the middle of a park. Walk through the gates and you can see a variety of animals. There are chickens everywhere, and other kinds of birds like ducks and geese. There is a barn full of rabbits and guinea pigs with super silly names bestowed upon them by the children who feed and take care of them. There is a pig old sow, who is scary looking... don't mess with her! And there are sheep, and goats, and DONKEYS! Oh man, I love the donkeys! You can pet the animals if they are near or watch them from afar. I also love strolling by the outside and seeing them making their loops around the yard. If you have little ones, definitely take them here for a comfortable and easy-going (plus safe) introduction to/interaction with farm animals. Best of all? It's free!
