Yes
i was thinking of going but have read so many threads but cannot seam to find issues with the steaming up of lenses and condensation, my camera is not water tight nikon d5200. People say carry the camera in a bag until it adjust to the heat around 10-30 mins. Will the condensation ruin my camera so many worries it does put me off. It was one of those rainy day trips when you just wanna get out with your camera.
cheers
 
I went too a butterfly farm in Wales , They had electric fan heaters in the entrance and advised placing you camera/ les in front to heat them up prior to entering the butterfly enclosure

I had no problems at all with my 5D MK11 and 180 macro
 
Seal it in a plastic bag for long enough for the camera to warm up.

Yep spot on
That's what I do when I go to the butterfly house at Chester zoo
Wrap the camera in a poly bag seal up exclude air put in camera bag
I leave the camera in the camera bag for ten minutes then take out poly bag with camera in and leave it for another ten minutes
may have to defog front of lens but will be ready to go :)
 
Been there a fare few times now and planning a little meet there for the first weekend of March never done anything special other than just letting the camera acclimatise for a few minutes first
