  Yes, is in one of the terminals in Singapore's airport. We love to pass by when we go somewhere to Indonesia or Malaysia. This airport is fun, it also has orchid gardens and the butterfly garden is in an enclosure containing a small garden opened at the outside ambient temperature (with netting, of course), therefore very hot and humid and the butterflies thrive there. They breed butterflies that can be seen in Singapore and Malaysia in the wild but they seem to vary from time to time. I have passed by at least three times and every time saw different ones. It is a lovely place! ..I read that now is closed due to Covid-19 but I hope they still keep the butterflies or at least that they will breed them again when all this passes and they can reopen. Looking forward to pass by again!
