Upon opening in 1986, the Penang Butterfly Farm was the first butterfly farm anywhere in the tropics, more than just a tourist attraction, it is a butterfly sanctuary, conservation and research center.

Effectively, a 'live' museum where you can enjoy and marvel at over 4,000 rare, endangered and indigenous butterflies. Learn about butterfly and insect conservation, the threat to their habitats and the fragile aspect of nature as well as enjoying their unique & beautiful colours.

If you love butterflies, tropical flowers and interesting insects, this is the place for you. Our boys loved having butterflies land on them while exploring this lush and massive indoor garden. Almost every color and size of butterfly you can imagine is represented here. One of them had to be 2 feet wide ? yikes! The stick insects and praying mantis were a favourite too. Great fun for everyone.
