Beautiful butterflies in a small quaint butterfly garden - can get busy!
Butterfly Gardens @ Middleton Common Farm的点评
点评:Quaint and small butterfly garden in the South Downs.
No admission prices displayed on arrival, and prices were adult £6.50, child £4.50 and toddler £1.50. A butterfly spotter sheet is given out with guidance on the back.
Hundreds of butterflies flying round in a poly tunnel with lots of plants and flowers. Was much smaller than we imagined, but still fun. Narrow path to walk along, watching out for any butterflies on the floor. Various species of butterflies, lots of different and colours.
As it is small, it doesn't take many visitors to get very busy - we just kept returning to the tunnel after a while when a bit quieter. This was fine as we got very hot in the butterfly garden.
The only reason for not giving 5 stars - we watched a couple of young ladies releasing the newly hatched butterflies from their netted enclosures into the main enclosure. One lady in particular was very rough in grabbing the butterflies and didn't appear to be sensitive to their fragility. We visited later and several butterflies in that location were either dead or appeared dead. The children found this upsetting.
There was a bug activity tent with a few butterfly related activities to do. And a little train ride that goes round in a circle for a few pounds.
The cafe was lovely. Deliciously fresh baked cakes and hot savouries. Numerous hot and cold drinks. All reasonably priced. Minimal seating indoors, but several picnic tables outside.

到达时不显示门票价格,票价为成人 6.50 英镑、儿童 4.50 英镑、幼儿 1.50 英镑。会发放一张蝴蝶观察表,背面有指南。
数百只蝴蝶在塑料隧道中飞来飞去,隧道内有许多植物和鲜花。比我们想象的要小得多,但仍然很有趣。沿着狭窄的小路行走,注意地板上的任何蝴蝶。各种蝴蝶,颜色各异。
由于它很小,不需要很多游客就会很热闹 - 我们只是在一段时间后安静一点时继续回到隧道。这很好,因为我们在蝴蝶园里很热。
没有给 5 星的唯一原因是 - 我们看到几只年轻女士将新孵化的蝴蝶从网状围栏中释放到主围栏中。特别是有一位女士抓蝴蝶时非常粗鲁,似乎没有意识到它们的脆弱。我们后来去了那里,那里的几只蝴蝶要么死了,要么看起来死了。孩子们对此感到不安。
有一个昆虫活动帐篷,里面有一些与蝴蝶有关的活动。还有一列小火车,绕着圆圈转,只需几英镑。
咖啡馆很可爱。美味的新鲜出炉的蛋糕和热腾腾的开胃菜。许多热饮和冷饮。价格都很合理。室内座位很少,但室外有几张野餐桌。
