We had as others have commented ‘templed-out’ and this island of beauty tempted us in. Noun Vichet showed us around, excellent English and a credit to Cambodia and BBC. The Butterflies exuded all their charm, and Noun explained their life cycle and the aim of the project. A must visit location. Good luck to this Enterprise and all that nurture and support it. Bravo.

This little butterfly center had beautiful butterflies, but we also saw cool frogs and even a few neat insects (and I am not usually a fan of bugs). For $6 you get a guided tour that lasts about 30 minutes. They walk you through and show you caterpillars/butterflies in different stages of development. We learned a lot. And we say lovely butterflies flitting around on some beautiful flowers. I don't think we would have visited this one all on its own, but it was a nice stop on the way back to Siem Reap from Phnom Kulen National Park. We enjoyed it.

Returning to Siem reap after visiting temples we decided to stop here and so glad we did. The young man who showed us around was very knowledgeable about the centre and his English was excellent. The butterflies were beautiful and the garden a pleasure to wander around. Well worth a visit

Sorry for me (I had made a fuss about it) and even more so for them (visitors who were the only financial support for the Centre): the very heat had killed many butterflies. The visible varieties were about ten compared to even 90 Very honest guys: they told me in advance that there were few and I could not enter ...but a small donation for me, important for them The explanation and vision of the care of the different phases of the life cycle is interesting What colors are the butterflies present!!! ...also very photographable :)

Definitely worth a visit!! If you’re looking for a trip around Siem Reap with fewer tourists, head to the butterfly centre. It’s great if you’re passionate about nature (or just want to see some beautiful native butterflies), and entry is cheap - plus you are contributing to important Cambodian wildlife conservation. It’s located close to the land mine museum and a stunning temple (we did the Angkor botanical gardens on the way back too) so you can make a full day trip out of it. Overall, a beautiful local butterfly garden in rural Cambodian countryside.

What a gem hidden away and can be easily overlooked. After the Temple hopping, this was a surreal sanctuary as we saw the 'from caterpillar to butterfly' cycle. It was magnificent. The lovely man who was on the reception desk gave us a fantastic tour. His English was native like. The butterfly perched onto my palm, which was an awesome experience. The vibrant colours and delicate, fragile wings are just breathtaking. We spent 2 hours there although the whole tour can be done in 30 minutes... we walked around several times. An absolute must! They charge $6 for entry, which helps with the cost of running the sanctuary.

Would definitely visit. Admission costs $6 and a guided tour is even included. You have the opportunity to admire all life cycles (from egg to caterpillar to butterfly ) up close and all open questions are answered. I found it fascinating and would recommend it to anyone.
