Why you should go…

Inside this glass-domed rainforest at the Botanical Gardens, thousands of butterflies from around the world flutter freely among waterfalls and tropical blooms, and if you wear bright colors, they'll land right on you. It's warm, gorgeous and open every day of the year, making it the perfect antidote to a chilly or rainy Niagara day.
