Went there while spending a day in Kuranda on a tour... There were very little different species there but ok just to spend a short time, nothing special but if u have kids , they will enjoy it.
After I booked the tickets my friend told me most of the butterflies were dead and on a pin board at the site. He had been there 15+ years ago. On the day We were impressed with the quantity of live butterflies and the behind the scenes growing and hatching area.
