Most travelers visit Malaysia in search of captivating beaches and tranquil patches of greenery. The Penang Butterfly Farm was established in 1986 to serve as a scientific research centre and a tourist attraction. One of the main objectives of opening such a facility was to open the visitor’s eye to the fascinating world of butterflies and insects that inhabit forests throughout Malaysia. This live butterfly exhibition facility is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country purely because there are very few such exhibits in the world. The design of the facility itself is truly remarkable and gives the visitor the feeling of being in a tropical rainforest teeming with life.
Upon entering the butterfly farm you will be greeted with the enticing smell of fresh clean air which will no doubt make the visitor even more impatient to see the wondrous winged creatures for themselves. Approximately 4000 butterflies that belong to a staggering 120 different species can be spotted at the facility in a number of exhibits in several parts of the farm. In addition, visitors will also come across a variety of beautiful plants and flowers which are a key component of the habitat that is created to ensure well-being of these gentle creatures.
