Thoughtfully designed garden with beautiful butterflies
Dec 2022
Beautifully curated park and outdoor experience. We would recommend a stop here to stroll through the garden, with the enclosed butterfly garden a definite highlight. The park is thoughtfully designed with beautiful plants, landscaping, and streams and waterfalls flowing throughout. The small cafe is a nice spot for Dutch apple cake and beverages. There are informative handouts and staff that inform you of the butterflies and their lifecycle.

Wonderful little 'bonus' to a visit to Kuang Si
Dec 2022
This lovely park, run by a very friendly and welcoming Dutch woman, is at the higher end of the scale cost-wise for attractions in Luang Prabang, but is nevertheless worth a visit while visiting Kuang Si. The setting is beautiful, there's a lovely cafe and some of the butterflies are truly gorgeous. Great undertaking. Oh, and the fish spa is fantastic!

Beautiful Gardens
Feb 2020 • Family
This is one of the best butterfly gardens I have been too. The kids loved the butterfly scavenger hunt. The staff was amazing. There was a beautiful woman inside the butterfly area that was super knowledgeable. She was very engaging and the kids were good listeners. The grounds are set up well and the little cafe was selling some delicious smelling food. I would def make a trip here if you have young children (mine are 4 and 7).

Fascinating to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly
Jan 2020 • Family
The Butterfly Park is a really fascinating place. I knew a little about butterflies, but having someone to explain everything including the life cycle was really interesting. We got to see them at all the different stages and even saw a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis. We were amazed at all the different sizes and colours of the butterflies. The park is set downstream from the Kuang Si falls, so is a very beautiful area as well and the cafe does excellent food.

Quiet and away from the crowds
Jan 2020
We arrived here about 1pm on our way back from the morning at the falls. The guy working the front counter was very rude. It cost 40,000kip (about $6CAD) to enter. They give you a map and educations information to help guide you threw Laos wildlife & plants.

The Park offers educational excursions to local school children to increase awareness of the fragile ecosystem.

The property is split into five area: the butterfly garden enclosure, colourful garden, orchid garden, cactus garden and a waterfall. There are many different types of butterflies in many different sizes in a lush green gardens. There were also a lot of lazy cats.

There is a small restaurant with koi fish pond and ducks. They serves cold drinks , sandwiches and small desserts. On site restrooms were clean and they had western toilets.

Loved it!!!
Jan 2020 • Solo
This is a beautifully designed and very informative park. You'd be crazy to miss this attraction if visiting the Falls. You learn a lot about butterflies but it's just a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. It looks like they have projects to engage with education and the community in the future so a very worthy place to support. Don't miss the apple pie at the cafe - the best I've ever had!!

A blissful experience
Feb 2020
At the Falls,we were approached by a friendly Dutch lady who told us about the Butterfly Park which I visited on the way back to Luang Prabang with our daughter. It was a haven of delight and peace. There were knowledgeable people on the spot to give insight to the species and their life patterns. As a butterfly lover from Europe this sanctuary was a welcome surprise.

Charming people running this place and peaceful surroundings
Dec 2019
We had been to the falls and then our guide and driver took us a short distance to the Butterfly park.Everything very rustic and blends in with the whole area.We were shown the life story of the butterflies and went into a caged area to see the sometimes enormous butterflies flying around.They look so delicate.We met the Dutch? owners and they explained about the area.The lady had been painting small stones with butterflies to take into town to advertise their business.I explained our grandchildren painted small stones and hid them in town and on their holidays and put their email address on the back too.We had lunch of a cheese and ham roll and drink at the centre which was very welcome.

What a pleasant surprise
Feb 2020 • Couples
We entered the place on our way back from the waterfalls and it was such a pleasant surprise. The butterflies are stunning and interesting information is provided in a very pleasant way. It is beautifully arranged and very clean. They have a small cafe/restaurant and we had a delicious apple pie and good coffee. The Dutch couple that runs the place is lovely and friendly. We wish we had more time to spend in this unique and tranquil place.

Peaceful hour
Jan 2020 • Family
Popped in after seeing the waterfall. I hadn’t read the reviews on the place before visiting so was a bit weary on entering. The entrance and walk to the main netted area is unassuming but once you enter the netted enclosure it’s a magical place. Butterflies are everywhere. You can see caterpillars, chrysalis and young butterflies shortly after emerging. Feels like something out of a children’s film. My toddler and baby had a wonderful time (as did I!)
