The one at Dobbies between Dalkeith and Edinburgh was great 20 years ago when we went with the school!

My next door neighbour visited this place the other day with her daughter (30s) and grandchildren (4 & tiny). She said it was absolutely fabulous and that there was actually too much to see in one day - this is praise indeed if you knew her!

I really liked the butterflies at Blenheim palace but the best one I went to looked a bit run down from outside but inside had some lovely specimins & that was at Swindon
We love it at the Swindon one. They have other animals outside too & are attached to a craft place so you can do plate/plaster model painting, decorate fairy cakes, soft play for younger ones, lots of other stuff too.0 -
Berkeley's ok, you can go around the castle as well, and see where Edward II was murdered with a red hot poker!!! They also use it to film lots of TV shows and films, and there the Cattle Country up the road, which has a play area for kids, the Jenner Museum down the road where Edward Jenner discovered the cure for Smallpox...and lots of pretty scenery!!!0

Mmmmmm, went at the weekend and spent 2 hours there. Did everything twice. Not sure i could have made a day of it mind?!?
One thing to say is that it is nowhere near finished. You cant really do much more than walk around and see the scenery and show type gardens. Only one small greenhouse of butterflies but we were more than happy to put some money into the project pot as will be coming back in years to come hopefully. Go and support this place it should be great!0 -

This one in Hertfordshire opened fairly recently and is meant to be the biggest in the world!
But biggest isn't always best
