Butterfly Wonderland
The largest indoor butterfly greenhouse in the United States, where thousands of tropical butterflies flutter through a rainforest greenhouse and you can watch them emerge.
Butterfly Wonderland shares a complex with OdySea Aquarium. Its main greenhouse recreates a tropical rainforest, with about 60 species and thousands of butterflies released year-round. The butterflies are more likely to land on you if you wear bright colours. There is also an emergence room, an insect area and a 3D short film. A visit takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, admission is about USD 30, and it can be combined with the aquarium. The greenhouse is hot and humid, so early morning or late afternoon is best.
