This lovely butterfly farm near Oranjestad is one of a few in the Caribbean, which attract high numbers of visitors eager to have a break from the sun, sea, sand and shopping recipe of your standard Caribbean holiday. Visitors can see hundreds of exotic butterflies from across the globe flitting across their large, comfortable cages, complete with vegetation and flowers.
You can learn all about the butterfly's evolution, from caterpillar to chrysalis to winged wonder, and even, if you're lucky, catch a new butterfly being "born" at dawn.
The obligatory gift shop sells butterflies on a pin in nice glass boxes. Pretty, if a little sad.
