One of our days out on our North Wales Holiday was to Pilipalas Nature World on Anglesey. The centrepiece for the attraction is a butterfly house (pilipala means butterfly in Cymraeg) and it was probably the best tropical house we've experienced. Butterflies everywhere!
The butterflies fly straight at you when you come in, and are very comfortable sitting on your shoulder to take a rest.
It's not just pilipalas at Pilipalas Nature World, though. There are small mammals, birds, reptiles, bugs and some fun farmyard animals in a small petting zoo - including a very needy goat called Dahlia who did not like me showing attention to any of the other animals when I could be stroking her!
Lots of fun lizards and snakes and things.

I'd not seen zebra mice before.
The meerkat cafe overlooked the meerkats, which made for some fun viewing while partaking of refreshments.
There was a very tame kookaburra who was happy to pose for photos.
The kune-kune pigs were called Bert and Ernie and liked having their backs scratched.
And the rooster with a very fluffy bum was hilarious as well, strutting around in his feathery britches.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable day out at Pilipalas and it's now on our list of places we would happily visit again.
