Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Ospita oltre 450 specie di farfalle che svolazzano liberamente in un ambiente di foresta pluviale tropicale. Una serra di 4.000 metri quadrati mantiene una temperatura umida di 28°C tutto l'anno, rendendola una fuga invernale popolare nel nord dell'Inghilterra.
Punti salienti: La voliera su due piani vi permette di camminare tra nuvole di farfalle Morpho blu e Caligo mentre si posano su ringhiere e talvolta sulla vostra spalla. Un'enorme iguana di nome Geraldo vive qui da oltre un decennio, spesso avvistata mentre si rilassa sui rami proprio accanto al passaggio pedonale.
Consigli da insider
- Bring a light layer you can easily remove, as the contrast between outdoor chill and indoor humidity hits instantly.
- The fruit bats hang right above the walkway a few meters past the entrance, look up quietly and you'll see them snoozing.
- Visit the nocturnal room last, your eyes need a few minutes to adjust to the near-darkness to spot the tiny pygmy mice and bushbabies.
- The small gift shop sells butterfly-themed items and locally made honey from their own bees.
