A Real Parent's Story
Made the temples 100x more interesting
“After the museum, my kids were spotting carvings and saying 'that's Shiva!'.”

Brilliant advice to do the museum first. Kids watched a 3D film about Angkor Wat construction, learned Hindu mythology, and saw statues up close. At the real temples, they pointed out linga and apsaras.
