text: Wish I could give this a nnVery cool to check out but not something I would do very often as it is pricey Many places around Phoenix have very good membership deals like the Botanical Gardens who also have a smaller butterfly exhibit annually or the Natural History Museum I probably would have bought a membership if it was reasonable there are no memberships for couples without children so it would be a year for just two but you would have to really go a lot to get your moneys worth nnAlso if you are looking for a relaxing butterfly experience this is not it I would recommend checking out t he Botanical Gardens to see if they are doing their butterfly exhibit It is much calmer Beware going during the middle of the week does not mean less kids they are a hotspot for class field trips and the ratio of adultstochildren may actually be lower midweek than on the weekendsnnIf you are good with crowds Butterfly Wonderland has a great D film that I have not seen anything like other places nnAlso I recommend dressing in layers The theater is a bit chilly but the butterfly pavilion is quite muggy A tank top sweatshirt is perfect
