This week I took a trip to The Butterfly Place in Westford, MA. Here is a link to their site: https://butterflyplace-ma.com/

They open around Valentines Day (2/14) and stay open until October 31st. They are open 7 days a week.

For those of you that have never been to this type of business. They are a large indoor greenhouse garden with hundreds of butterflies flying all around you. Also they have a pair of Gouldian Finches flying freely inside and a lovely Koi pond. There are benches inside that you can sit down on and just enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. Also, it is 80 degrees inside there. It is a wonderful escape from Winter. It is about 70 miles from Laconia. If we had one here in the Lakes Region I would be there at least once a week in the Winter.

Below are a few images that I took there.













I think this type of business would be a wonderful and welcome addition to the Lakes Region.
