Butterfly exhibit cost $3 per person and is well worth the money.  My daughter loved it we actually spent many hours she loved it the Butterflies land on you she had one hanging on her eye.   They teach you about the butterfly, and using a qtip with sugar water you can attract the butterflies.

It took my daughter a little bit to become comfortable with the butterflies but once she did she was truly happy she even used her own money to pay for a second time to go in to the exhibit-  lets say we spent 3 hours total of the 6.5 hours we at the flower show in this exhibit.

Make and Take Area:  We also made a Headpiece for $10 which she really loved.  She wore it around the show and received a ton of compliments. They also have a Make an Take Terrarium for $20.   I took this picture in the Bank of America Lounge which is a great place to relax and sit, it is located on the main concourse.
