Pavithra Shetty
★★★★★2 months agoThis place never stops wowing you. The butterflies are literally everywhere, fluttering around so freely that it feels like you’ve stepped into their home. They sit around you, twirl past you, and follow you almost everywhere you go. I’ve visited multiple times with family, friends, and kids, and every single visit still feels magical. Entrance, has a quick introduction about butterflies, their habitat, and their journey of life. It makes the whole experience even more special and enjoyable. Amazing place to visit for both kids and adults.
