A rainbow-hued array of 1,500 tropical butterflies -- including the electric-blue Ulysses and Australia's largest species, the Cairns bird wing -- occupies a lush walk-through enclosure here. Take the free 30-minute guided tour and learn about the butterfly's fascinating life cycle. The butterflies will land on you if you wear pink, red, and other bright colors.
