• Butterfly Rainforest
  "Best butterfly garden"
  "I have visited many butterfly gardens all over and this one is the best by far. It is in the natural history museum so plan on several hours if you want to see everything. We spent 3 hours in the garden alone. This is a must see if you are in the Gainesville,Florida area."
• University of Florida Bat House
  "Truly Unique"
  "If you are not irrationally terrified of bats this will provide you a fascinating experience. As the Sun sets the bats emerge from this specially constructed bat habitat on the University of Florida campus. Though bats are often reviled, these bats are harmless to human, but not to insects. Their..." nightly flights are for feeding on the many insects that come out in the evening. Bats perform a valuable function in holding down insect populations. It is fascinating to be relatively close to the bats as they emerge by the hundreds. It is not a sight you are likely to see in many other places. " More >
• Butterfly Rainforest
  "Neat experience for young and old"
  "The University of Florida was fortunate to be funded for the study of various species of butterflies. They developed an academic program, but even better, they shared it with the public. The enclosed garden of beautifully landscaped plants, streams, and waterfalls contains free flying butterflie..."s of many species with hundreds of colors and shapes. A stroll through the garden will allow you to marvel at the gorgeous variety of nature. It might even afford you a close up look as one of specimens lands on your arm for a brief rest. It is a very tranquil, relaxing, and informative way to spend some time. It is enjoyable for adults and children. There is a reasonable entry fee. Don't forget to bring your camera. " More >
