It's a tourist attraction.

Basically a very big greenhouse full of plants and butterflies. The butterflies can't get out. It's a building rather than a 'farm', although they are called butterfly farms. It's unusual to have just the butterfly farm and nothing else; they usually form one attraction at a place with other things going on.

A butterfly farm (think building) is different to a farm that has butterflies (wild ones) on it. You need to specifically state 'butterfly farm' if appropriate as otherwise people will think of the second situation.

Thanks, Nona.

BTW, is your name "Iona"?  My cousin goes by Nona, and was named after my maternal grandmother, from Nova Scotia.

Best wishes,  - A.
