概要
クイックファクト: Home to over 450 species of butterflies that flutter freely through a tropical rainforest environment. A 4,000 square meter greenhouse maintains a steamy 28°C year-round, making it a popular winter escape in northern England.
見どころ: The two-story butterfly house lets you walk among clouds of blue morphos and owl butterflies as they land on railings and occasionally your shoulder. An enormous iguana named Geraldo has been a resident for over a decade, often spotted lounging on branches right next to the walkway.
インサイダーヒント
- 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.
