What an amazing place. So many butterflys all around you, landing on you. It was really beautiful and fun. So many different species plus there were stick insects and fish in the ponds. It was so tranquil and the souviner shop was really nice and well priced.

I had no idea what to expect but it wasn't as much as what I got. To have butterflies land on you contstantly was so worth the entry ticket. EVERY-ONE was laughing and smiling - it was brilliant

This was part of a tour that we took whilst staying in Penang. We loved it. From the moment you walk in there are so many species just freely flying around. You also get the experience and see the lifestages of a butterfly whilst you walk around the enclosure. We also had a guide that took us around and provided... More

Very much small, enclosed conservatory with butterflies, BEAUTIFUL breeds among others, flying everywhere. Upon entering the farm, you will be greeted by the welcoming setting sub-divided by several sections. Made available up close are not just adult butterflies but also their eggs, larvae left... More

Exquisite place and good location, take 101 bus from Penang, if your lucky will drop you off outside but never did discover which ones did or didn't. Even so a short walk, buses about every 10mins. Inside is a tropical paradise and well worth the visit, good facilities, but simple cafe at the end. Afterwards it is a very short... More

Went here during my visit to Penang. Location is kinda far, but if you're staying near Batu Ferringhi area, you can take bus rapid-penang 101 to there. I recommend to take taxi back to your hotel or to another area, since the bus waiting time from there can be ridiculously long. Inside, they have lots and lots of butterflies freely... More
