Children ..... our topic today is about "Metamorphosis"!! This is exactly how you will feel about the place. A small place of butterfly sanctuary that is filled with different species of butterfly. If you are into deep science adventure and have enough time to actually study how caterpillars emerged to become butterflies ... then this place is for you. But... More

Farm might sound like something big, but the butterfly farm was actually quite small. Nevertheless it had like hundreds (or maybe even thousands) of butterflies. Some of them really big and beautiful. So it's a nice short break from Puerto Princesa city and not far either. Those who want to experience something different - you can always try to take... More

Don't come here if butterflies scare you. Took some great macro shots and it was a surreal experience having the butterflies go right by you. More

Small place but nice. Plenty of beautiful butterflies that actually land on your shoulders or head. They have a bearcat, bugs, a snake and scorpions. They allow you to carry the scorpion or snake and its free of charge to do this. Entrance fee to the garden is minimal and this could be a quick added stop if your going... More

Not too many butterflies. Also, there are just a few kinds of butterfly. I was expecting a whole lot of them in different colors and kinds. I think this is just good for the kids. Adults will not enjoy this generally. The place also needs a renovation and maintenance. More
