Hear From Others

During my visit, I had the opportunity to get close to an iguana, monster toad, and a snake. The park exhibits the largest collection of reptiles, including more than twenty different species of snakes.

It looks a little shabby from the outside and some of the exhibits before you get into the main area are a bit run down. However once you walk into the butterfly area it improves quickly. It’s very nice to be surrounded by the butterflies (though you do have to watch your step!), and there are some really rare and beautiful ones including the Rajah Brooke. They even land on you.

With countless butterflies flying freely all around you, do expect certain close encounters with them, and well, do not freak out if some landed on your back or shoulders.
