Butterfly parks are an underrated outing. They're not big, not expensive, and not spectacular in photos — but in real life it's an experience that makes you go quiet.
Belgium and the Netherlands have a handful of butterfly parks and tropical greenhouses where hundreds of live butterflies fly freely. You walk among them. They land on your shoulder, your hand, sometimes on your head. Kids stop and stare wide-eyed.
It's an ideal activity for a rainy or overcast day (the greenhouses are heated indoor spaces), or as a change of pace from a busy summer schedule. Combine with a botanic garden visit if there's one nearby. For kids who normally don't care about nature: butterflies always work.
