Well better than expected. I will be back again in about 3 weeks to see the transformed butterflies. Greatly priced too.

Went today and had no cash for the £1 entrance fee which is amazing, called at the little cafe there and a lovely lady Kath who works there gave me £2 from her own pocket, what a genuinely lovely thing to do , the park is lovely the little jungle experience is fun and the walled garden in summer when it's all in bloom is beautiful

Lovely little tropical house with butterflies, fish and terrapins. It's located within the park and £1 entry pp. Only downside it isn't clear on opening hours and have traveled to the site when it's turned out to be closed.

For the low price this was amazing. Definitely worth a visit. Entertained our 2 year old and he loved the "Dino flying". We only saw a few butterflies as most were still hatching but we enjoyed what we did see.

Amazing little hidden gem! The butterflies are beautiful! And there are so many turtles. It's very hot in there so make sure you're able to take layers off to fully enjoy it. 1 pound entry (cash only) or even free on certain days.
