It is really popular, as evidenced by the line:

We caught the 10:30 Arnold Line to the island. Watching fireworks from the top of the ferry was AWESOME!

    It was so nice meeting you and your girls at the park behind the Art Museum! Thank you for the recommendations on fun places to take James and Daisy; they loved the butterfly house.

    It was so nice to meet you too, Janice! Your children are adorable! It was fun to meet another mommy-of-two my age. I went to the Butterfly House the next day, just talking about it with you got me itching to go! I am glad James and Daisy loved it!
