Resting for the Moment
Another interesting aspect of Ocean Journey is the Butterfly Garden. I'm not sure how it relates to the ocean, but the garden is an open room where the butterflies are not screened. So the aquarium takes extra precautions to avoid escapees. The garden has large fans which blow inward whenever a door is opened. It is also important to check clothing before leaving because sometimes a butterfly may try to catch a ride. These measures are necessary to keep the immediacy of the exhibit. Literally, when you are walking or standing in the garden, you are with the butterflies--no boundary.
