Melaka Butterfly and Reptile Sanctuary

Melaka Butterfly and Reptile Sanctuary is a privately operated wildlife attraction in Ayer Keroh, Malacca, adjacent to Melaka Zoo. Established in 1991 as a butterfly park and later expanded to include reptiles and insects, it houses thousands of butterflies, crocodiles, snakes, lizards, tortoises and invertebrates in landscaped gardens, walk-through aviaries and enclosed exhibits focused on conservation and education for visitors.

Visitors can explore a landscaped tropical garden with a large walk-through butterfly aviary housing free-flying butterflies, koi ponds and flowering plants, plus enclosed sections for reptiles including crocodiles, snakes, lizards, tortoises and turtles. Additional areas include an insect museum, beetle and stick insect displays, small mammal enclosures and educational exhibits. Paths are paved with shaded rest areas, photo spots and guided explanations available throughout the sanctuary.
