After lunch, we drove to the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster. It’s billed as an invertebrate zoo. We haven't been thre before, but we wre looking forward to checking it out.
The first room contained lots of different bugs. We saw bees, beetles and cockroaches. They also had quite a selection of spiders. Marina had a chance to hold a tarantula. At first she was to afraid, but ultimately she changed her mind and held Rosie for a moment. She said her legs felt like pipe cleaners.The next room had sea life in it. We’d never seen such large starfish! Marina gentle touched a horseshoe crab and two starfish. We also saw clownfish, lobsters and jellyfish.
The next room was made to look and feel like a tropical rainforest. Inside were beautiful plants and flowers. Most exciting, there were butterflies fluttering all over the place. It wasn’t unusual to have them fly right in front of us. Marina had one land on her hand. She was so excited to have it there. She gently guided it onto a plant leaf.
The last room had lots of kids activities including insects to crawl on and a spider web made out of rope. Marina had a great time climbing around and playing with the other kids.
