Angkor Butterfly Centre – largest butterfly exhibit in S E Asia
February 13, 2010 – 2:06 pm
The Angkor Butterfly Centre (ABC) is an interactive butterfly exhibit located 25 km north of Siem Reap, home to Cambodia’s famous Angkor Wat, on the road to the Landmine Museum and Bantey Srei temple.
The exhibit consists of a netted tropical garden with hundreds of free-flying butterflies, all of which are native species to Cambodia.
The enclosure is South East Asia’s largest butterfly exhibit and provides residents and tourists with an eco-friendly environment to learn about butterflies.
At ABC it is possible to experience butterflies feeding and flying very close at hand and to witness the complete life cycle of many species. The butterflies (in pupae form) are farmed sustainably by people from villages in the Siem Reap Province.
