Exhibit closed due to lightening, no response from viator regarding refund. What a scam. Highway robbery.
Response from Host , Aug 2021
We're very sorry to hear about your experience at the Florida Museum. The Butterfly Rainforest is an outdoor exhibit and so is subject to temporary storm closures to keep guests safe. We will still honor your tickets if you visit us at another time or, if you provide us with a name and date of your visit, we can ask viator to refund your tickets. Our apologies again for your experience, we hope you can come visit us again.

Butterflies are able to stand on you if you stay still. After you get out of the butterfly exhibit there is a butterfly seat and you can sit in the middle and have butterfly wings :)

I was looking for a stress-free day, so I decided to go to the Butterfly Rainforest at the Florida Museum of Natural History. I must say that the experience was amazing! The price was reasonable and the exhibits were highly educational.
Transport yourself to paradise

It’s an amazing experience. You could definitely transport yourself to a rainforest surrounded of butterflies among other tropical species.
Great family experience

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
