Green Hills Butterfly Ranch

Green Hills Butterfly Ranch was an enchanting place! We arrived in the early afternoon, just after a downpour. I recommend going when it hasn’t just rained because the rain forces the butterflies to seek shelter under leaves and go to sleep, so they aren’t as active. Still, it was such a cool place. Ervin spent over an hour with us explaining every step of the butterfly life cycle, the farm as whole, and even letting my kids help hang chrysalis. He was patient at answering questions and listening to the never-ending stories and facts my kids wanted to tell him. We started in the butterflies, then moved into the different caterpillar houses. We ended learning all about the beautiful hummingbirds which never stopped buzzing around us. The staff were friendly and so accommodating. My kids didn’t want to go in the first place, then they didn’t want to leave. A truly magical place!
