flying around / looking at

Can I say,

(a) They are looking at the butterflies in the farm.
(b) The butterflies are flying in the butterflies farm.

Can I say,

"around the farm"?

this is the first time I've heard of a butterfly farm.

Avangi, what do you think of a farm? A place to grow crops or raise livestock for consumption?
Is that the reason butterfly farm sounds weird to you? If the purpose is entertainment, what do you call it? A butterfly park?

I think you'd visit butterflies at the butterfly petting zoo.

New2, I always thought "ant farm" was sort of "tongue-in-cheek," but they've been around since I was a child.

I think they raise worms for bait in worm farms, but I'm not sure.  I recall a few years back a rumor was started that McDonald's used earthworms to fortify their hamburgers.  It was a rediculous idea, because earthworms are worth more per pound than beef   -    better quality protein too.

Many years ago, Knott's Berry Farm (originally for raising berries  -  still a famous brand of jams and jellies) was converted to a theme park, competing with Disneyland in Orange county.  I think they've only recently removed the "farm" from the name.

(Am I going to be in trouble for naming names?   Should be XYZ Theme Park?)

People get creative with names for commercial zoos.  There's "Lion Country Safari" in San Diego, or near San Diego.  I recall "Benson's Wild Animal Farm" in New Hampshire.  I think some are called "parks," but I can't think of one specifically at the moment.

Hi Tanit, I think that's great!  I'd like to visit one.  How do they keep them from flying the coup?
