Two hours will give you time to enjoy all of it, unless you get stuck in line to see butterflies as we did. Perhaps by now the line will be shorter.

Our son dropped us off and parked on the street behind park across from Phipps, and walked through the park. Better to plan for this ahead of time. Enjoy!
