10 Favourite Cultural Institutions in Toronto

Don't pack their swimsuits, but be prepared to shed some clothing (read: layer the kids) at the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory, about a 45 minute drive from the city. Inside the conservatory, the temperature ranges from 24 to 28°C with high humidity. Expect to see any (or all) of 2000 to 3000 species of live, free-flying butterflies and over 12 species of exotic birds, as well as various bugs, spiders and snails. There's also a honeybee hive where you can watch the bees hard at work making honey.
