Butterfly and Fountain World
|
Sometimes even the usually sunny Isle of Wight gets the odd drop of rain from time to time so with this in mind, we thought we would take a look at this all weather attraction on the outskirts of Wootton between Ryde and Newport; Butterfly World. As the name suggests, this is ideal for all you nature lovers as it is populated by hundreds of beautiful winged insects from all over the world which fly freely in this temperature controlled glass house. Also at this attraction is Fountain World which has an Italian theme to it. Various fountains perform ever changing displays in this wonderful Italian garden setting. Then from Italy to Japan as you arrive into the Japanese garden with some of the largest Koi carp you will ever see! Feeding time is a 'must see' event as you get a very detailed talk from one of the expert guides about the history and origins of Koi. There's something for the kids here as well; a 'groto' type feature with some animated characters including a clown jaz band to entertain the young ones and then into the jumping water jets where they will invetiablly get a little wet! All good fun. The attraction features in our DVD, 'An Island Attractions Tour Ep 1'.
