Staying among the butterflies in Amsterdam: Butterfly Garden Mot in Mokum
A short bike ride from the center of Amsterdam - just a small party of course, especially when the sun is shining and it's skirt day - to the ferry. Take that bee the Houthavens, which is not that busy and you quickly get to the other side) and then pedal to the park called Sportpark Melkweg. There you will find a piece of un-Amsterdam outdoor life: Butterfly Garden Mot in Mokum. Fun to wander around - everyone is always welcome - but it is even more fun to spend the night there! That is possible, in a very cozy caravan.
Sleeping among the butterflies, watching moths with a glass of wine, having breakfast in the sea of flowers: it doesn't get much more fun! During spring and summer the observatory is open Butterfly garden Mot in Mokum can be rented for overnight stays, so you not only have time to make beautiful observations, but you can also use the observation equipment, games and microscopes.
Taking care of the caterpillars and butterflies is certainly part of it! The NoordOogst site has several locations where you can enjoy sustainable and circular food. The observatory is an expedition trailer suitable for 2 people. This trailer has been specially designed and is ideal for outdoor living. The butterfly breeding cabinets are also located outside the trailer! If there are caterpillars in here, you are expected to take care of them. How to do that will of course be explained! You can release butterflies that emerge from their chrysalises. Of course there is no guarantee of caterpillars and butterflies, such is nature.
Oh, and while you're there: the park also has POF, a sweet and fun (very child-friendly) catering business with a playground
