Angkor Green Gardens Park by Dara

Peaceful and picturesque – great for families! We visited Angkor Green Gardens Park by Dara on a rainy day, which limited our experience slightly. However, the park still impressed us with its lush greenery, unique sculptures, and cultural displays. On a clear day, you can easily spend 4–5 hours here—perfect for kids to explore and ideal for photography lovers. A beautifully maintained space that blends nature, tradition, and creativity. Highly recommended for a relaxed family outing in Siem Reap.

Even though this place is mostly shut down and abandoned I'd say it's still well worth a visit. Entry is only 5 bucks and kids are free. We spent the afternoon walking around and exploring the gardens and it was very peaceful and relaxing. You can still get drinks and feed the fish and they have several air conditioned areas full of history.

🇹🇴..Its pity this park has a lot of potential, but seems like it hasn’t recovered after COVID-19. The set up the garden is beautiful. Plenty of food stalls and cold drink and ice available. Toilet facility is average. Entry fee $5 USD per foreigner.

Lovely place with vast range of things to do, lots of exploring for kiddies, comfy places to sit in peace by the lake on in the 'floating village' or by the artworks ... handy bite-size history/culture/plants information signs as you walk round. I haven't seen this advertised - should be.

Great place for a quirky walk. And yes it's 'abandoned' - sort of. Basically never fully reopened after Covid - but it's a decent way to spend a couple of hours walking around nice gardens full of crazy stuff.

I was reading some of the negative comments about this park and could not believe my eyes. It’s 5$ entry. What do you expect? Yes indeed, before Covid this was an amazing attraction with shows in all the cultural villages (but then the price was 25$ I believe if my memory serves my right). Now it’s a bit of a forgotten attraction that still offers beautiful photo ops. Just the two small museums right after the entrance already are worth the 5$ entry fee. I visit every year and I usually rent a bike for 2$ inside and just leisurely bike around the place and stop where I want to take a picture. It’s fun ! I really love the Phnom Penh miniatures and the gigantic reclining Buddha. It’s not a theme park, it’s an enormous garden with some minor attractions. If you keep that in mind you’ll have a wonderful time. The zoo-part you should avoid. There’s nothing left and the two rabbits in a cage are not worth the visit, but apart from that : enjoy yourselves, I know I have

So this garden is a huge disappointment. Normally there is activities, demonstrations of cultural customs etc... We went in Feb 2025 and the park was dead everything was closed, buildings attractions or broken and under supposed repair and on top of that you pay double the price if you're not Cambodian. You Pay 2 x more because of your skin color ! Yes you would have payed 2.5 USD $ otherwise. This is discriminating. 5$ won't hurt me but where does it stop soon 10x more 20x more. If you don't believe me go to Costa Rica where you are treated as the cow that needs constant milking another example are the resorts in Cancun where things are more expensive than in the US Please vote with your wallet and don't go or if you must don't spend extra money on food, souvenirs etc. For me I would have not even payed 2.5$ not worth it. Also not interesting for kids!

I really enjoyed walking through this park taking hundreds of photos. The park is beautifully centered around a stunning lotus pond with some water features making some nice focus points. A nice place for family photos. I even had a nice nap in one of the hammocks next to a little rice paddie. The park allows for wedding functions to be held at the stilted restaurant overlooking the beautiful lotus pond. A beautiful place for a wedding! They even provide pre-wedding make up and dressing rooms. Surely an interesting that old and young will enjoy.
