Description

This is your chance to get up close with the likes of tarantulas, scorpions, giant cockroaches and mammoth centipedes. There is also a glass enclosed bee factory, which allows you to safely watch worker bees, and a 7,000-square-foot conservatory complete with a small tropical forest and 1,200 butterflies. The sight is impressive and makes for a great outing with the kids. If you prefer the outdoors, wind your way through the cactus gardens. A gift shop is available.
