The butterfly garden is a pretty small place - but the staff here is really nice and sweet. They "planted" butterflies on all of us and we took cheesy photos!

There are seasons where the butterflies fly and don't. It is best when they're all flting and landing in you face, shoulder, etc. The place is about 50 sqm only.

The place is a little bit run down, and not very big. Only a few people could go in at one time, and the they were catching the butterflies with net.

They call it Butterfly Sanctuary nowadays, there are few butterflies inside. When you hear Butterfly Farm or Sanctuary first thing that comes into your mind are different types of butterflies. You will be disappointed paying P40 per person only to see around 10 to 15 butterflies of the same color. I suggest they fill this with different butterfly species. The... More

the last time i was here, that was years ago, there were lots of butterfly species. this time, i guess there were only 2 kinds of species. the new location is smaller, unlike before. the person in charge was helpful enough to encourage my children to appreciate and explain what butterflies are all about.it was fun for the kids!

There weren't many butterflies and they don't tell you that before you walk in. The guy is very educated and really funny. It's not expensive, but you can ask if it's season - meaning are there a lot of butterflies!
