The Butterfly House

On Monday Al, Avery and I went to the Butterfly House at Faust Park. It is only about 15 minutes away from where we live.

We all thought it was really neat! There is a movie to watch about butterflies, exotic bugs in aquariums on display (I didn't like this part), a shadowbox with a map of the world showing what butterflies are particular to certain parts of the world, and a lot more.
The butterflies were in a huge green house that was extremely hot and humid. There are over a 1000 butterflies flying around. You are not allowed to touch them, but they fly around and land on you and are everywhere!! There are also tons of exotic plants and a waterfall in the greenhouse.

After we looked around at the butterflies for a while we explored the outside grounds and the classroom that had tons of puppets, puzzles and toys for kids to play with.
Faust Park is huge and has a large outdoor playground and carousel. We didn't have time to do everything, but I know we will go back.
