As we walked though the doors into the butterfly farm it felt like we had stepped into a different country.  The air felt humid and there was a lazy looking iguana lounging in a tree.  My boys began to excitedly check off the butterflies they could spot on the identification sheets.  They were soon struggling to keep up as there was just so many of them of all different varieties.  As we moved around the farm we realised that there was lots more to the farm than just a room full of butterflies.  We came across the Discovery Zone.  This was an area dedicated to the life cycle of a butterfly.  We saw lots of amazing  cocoons and caterpillars.  There was also a mini beast handling session happening and Easter activities.  As we continued our way around we came to a mini beast metropolis which houses one of the largest collections of insects in the UK.  A big favorite with my boys were the tarantulas.  We all decided we were feeling rather warm so we headed outside to a lovely wildflower garden where there were picnic tables perfect for our lunch.
