Great local spot to see all kinds of exotic butterflies. If you hold very still one may even land on you so keep the cameras ready. To spend more time there, bring a book and sit by the water and read a while, otherwise 1 hour to see the butterflies is lots of time. Often there are other activities like butterfly talks and bug eating. Try a garlic meal worm. They taste fine and give you bragging rights.
