The Floral Showhouse where they had every type of plant imaginable – from cactus to tropical plants.  They also had a small pond that was full of turtles.

The Butterfly Conservatory was wonderful.  Different species of beautiful butterflies were flying around  beautiful plants.  One of the larger butterflies landed on Cliff's back and stayed on his back the entire 45 minutes we were there.  When it was time to leave, she had to be forcibly removed by one of the employees.  She bonded so well with Cliff, she laid 4 eggs on his jacket.  The eggs were covered with a sticky substance and didn’t brush off easily.
