Stratford Butterfly Farm

The tropical flight area brings butterflies close to the paths, with further displays following their life cycle and introducing other invertebrates. It gives a Stratford day a complete change of subject from the Tudor buildings. Slow observation is more rewarding than expecting a particular animal to appear on cue.
