Tropical wings is one of my favourite zoo's!
It is located in South Woodham Ferrers - Essex, my mum loves butterflies and as it's got the most beautiful butterfly room with a pond of Koi Carp (you can even get food for them at the entrance). I found this the perfect place to take mum for Mothers day!
They have all the usual, parrots (one of which spoke radio.) Lemurs, Meerkats, porcupine's, otters, African Tortoise, wallaby and many farm animals too!
The thing that makes this zoo so spectacular for me is the butterfly room. I could stay in there all day! If you fancy the butterflies perching on you then just make sure to wear a brightly clothing. My mum was wearing a purple coat which got all of the butterflies attention.
Please share your experiences of Tropical Wings or any butterfly gardens in the comments and recommend any other butterfly gardens, I would love to see more!

Just the colours of this bird amazes me! The iridescence is just incredible.
I was fascinated by the butterflies movements, I observed the beautiful butterflies and I wondered why they kept moving and not staying on the flowers. I looked closer and noticed they are fluttering as they are drinking nectar. Some of the breeds of butterflies are eating fruit at the zoo which are placed in tin bowls. Whilst the other species drink nectar from the flowers.
If you'r lucky you may even see a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.
Make sure to see the meerkats and Otters feed!
