Traveler reviews
Jericko JR Cohavi
★★★★★2 months agoVery cool place with a lovely atmosphere. There isn't a huge amount to see, but the kids absolutely loved the butterflies flying around and were excited to hold the giant snail. The birds are beautiful, and although the rabbits are not meant to be petted, the overall experience was great. The kids had a blast!
M Yorke
★★★★★5 months agoVery good. The room itself is quite small, however, there is lots to see and do. It is very interactive my children both had many butterflies and birds land on them. There were also rabbits inside that you could interact with. For the price, I thought it was good. You’d probably spend a maximum 30 minutes in here. I would highly recommend this place, especially on a wet day.
