Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park

Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park is a large enclosed butterfly garden located within the Perdana Botanical Gardens in central Kuala Lumpur. Opened in 1992, it houses over 5,000 butterflies representing more than 120 species in a landscaped tropical rainforest setting with lakes, waterfalls and flowering plants. Recognized as one of the largest covered butterfly parks in the world, it also includes an insect museum and serves as a conservation, education and research centre.

Visitors enter a large netted enclosure landscaped as a tropical rainforest with winding paths, flowering plants, waterfalls, ponds and bridges. Thousands of free-flying butterflies from over 120 species can be observed at close range, along with koi ponds, turtle ponds and an insect museum displaying beetles, stick insects and other specimens. The environment is humid and lush, with shaded rest areas, photo spots and interpretive displays about butterfly life cycles and conservation.
