Incredible performance. We sat in the front row hoping to see more closely how these illusions are done. Nope - still have no idea how these tricks are done. Such a great entertaining evening. A must see.

I was a little nervous returning to the spa in this COVID time but my mind was instantly put to ease as soon as I walked in the door. The staff was amazing, the facilities were pristine and there were plenty of very helpful attendants in the locker room and in each of the relaxation areas to make sure everything was clean. My husband and I enjoyed a FANTASTIC couples massage - I highly recommend it! Thank you for making our spa day very luxurious - we will definitely be back.

I went to see the play "A Christmas Story" and it was extremely well done. The venue is clean and neat. The seats are comfortable and this is a cozy small theater. The cast of the play was good and the kids were adorable playing the roles of the school children. However, the woman playing Ralphie's mother stole the show!
10. Butterfly Wonderland
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,477 reviews
Reviewed By Mike-n-Inga - Williamsburg, United States
My wife and I really did not know what to expect when we visited this attraction. First: it is indoors, so offers a welcome break from mid-summer heat. Second: it has welcome hours (we visited late afternoon on a Sunday). You start off with an educational and entertaining movie about Monarch butterflies and their life-cycle. They really are a wonder and have a fascinating story for young and old alike. You follow this up with a visit to a room where the butterflies emerge from their cocoons (go earlier in the day to see more activity, later afternoon is too late). This is followed by the true wonder of the facility: the indoors butterfly sanctuary. My wife and I spent nearly two hours hunting through the foliage, each topping the other with the amazing pictures and movies we made capturing the various butterflies we found! We have many great pictures which we have shown to friends and relatives already and all are in awe. It's a great adventure and done at a leisurely pace away from the heat of the desert. Finally, we were surprised by the exhibits outside the sanctuary. We were awarded with dozens more pictures of various creepy critters! This place is a must-see, especially for parents looking for something educational and less hectic than some standard entertainment faire...
