I visited the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House in St. Louis County Missouri with @RatioTile back in June. It is a nice little place with a couple terrariums and a lovely butterfly pavilion. Not really a place to go out of your way for, but a nice stop if you are in the St. Louis area already.
I uploaded some photos to the gallery, the first since @snowleopard's trip back in 2014: Butterfly House - ZooChat
