Travel Blogger Hails Butterfly House as Tops in 'Flyover Country'

Blogger Adam Sommer has been all over the world, but claims that some of the best travel spots he's ever visited are in what's commonly (and derisively) known as "flyover country" — that vast space between the coasts.

"Although many joke it’s not worth a stop, I have found the area between New York and Los Angeles to be one of the best travel spots in the world," he writes.

So Sommer has devoted a blog to it called "Visit Flyover Country" — and this week, he turned the spotlight on Chesterfield and the Butterfly House.

"The Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House (is) one of my picks for the best family 'hidden gems' in St. Louis," Sommer wrote on Wednesday. "Our son has always liked the huge cockroach display that kids can climb under and be surrounded by the bugs."
