Butterfly and Otter Sanctuary

Over the summer, we did a few day trips with Belle. Mainly to see her level of interest in things and whether we need to change up our activities to continually interest her.

It was a lovely sunny day and we had decided that we wouldn't waste it staying in, we looked at a few farm attractions but the cost of them! I was shocked to see how much those places want adults to pay! Our budget allows for some treats but it was silly prices for a spur of the moment thing. Enough of the rant!

So anyway, we decided on the Butterfly and Otter Sanctuary, it was about a half hour drive and I had been there quite often as a child. I remembered it well.




There isn't a great deal to see as it isn't a huge place. However, we got the timings right for feeding time and it was great. The keeper knew his stuff and was a confident speaker which made it entertaining as well as interesting.

This little guy lives in the butterfly part.

I think it is somewhere we will go again once Isabelle is even more interested in things, we were certainly lacking her questions to keep us in there for a longer period of time!
