* * * * * Expensive Flutterbys Before heading off to Oshkosh, Spring [1] wanted to do something special and seeing how I live less than a mile from Butterfly World [2] we decided to give the place a try. I've been living next to Butterfly World for 10 years and I've never been there myself. So after lunch we headed on over to Butterfly World. The place is currently being renovated so there's much construction going on. The main entrance is now on the side admist warning signs, exposed wiring and joists and conduits and sawdust. We snake our way around the exposed construction to the gift shop where you buy tickets into Butterfly World itself. For US$13.50 per adult! That's a bit more than we wanted to pay to see some crawling, flying insects so we made a quick tour around the giftshop (and it was your typical tourist trapish museumesque giftshop) and left.
