The conservatory includes flowering plants, cascading waterfalls and trees. There are also several species of free flying "butterfly friendly" birds, such as American flamingoes, red-factor canaries, zebra finches, cordon-bleu finches and "button" or Chinese painted quail.
There is a learning center where guests can get a close up view of a variety of live caterpillars feeding and developing on their host plants.
