text: I will be honest I am not a huge butterfly fan In general I am not a fan of things flying at my face even pretty things but my friend wanted to go as part of a birthday outing nnThe D movie was actually really cool and probably would have been even better had it not been for the children in front of me who were never taught how to behave in public nnThe butterflyararium was quite nifty as well It is similar to the yearly Butterfly House at the Desert Botanical Gardens but on a much larger and more permanent scale There are LOTS of photo ops here so bring your camera Apparently butterflies like the spa so prepare yourself for a saunaesque environment My pores were so open afterward nnThere are also other exhibits tooant farms bee hives fish and a stingray pool Most of the stingrays were antisocial but there was one that seemed to enjoy gliding along the top and making little girls including me squeal I have no idea how stingrays relate to butterflies but I suppose it is less random than say giraffes
