Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park, Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park, Kuala Lumpur

One of Kuala Lumpur’s main attractions is the Perdana Botanical Gardens which manages to get millions of visitors every year from all over the world. But what makes this park special is the variety it offers its visitors. Here, amidst the greenery and nature, you get to see exotic birds, different varieties of orchids and everybody’s favorite, butterflies.

If you are an avid photographer and love macro photography and capturing nature at its best or simply love butterflies, then the Butterfly Park is the place for you. However, you needn’t look through the lenses to enjoy its beauty. Spread across two acres of land, the park encompasses over 6000 different butterflies. With tropical waterfalls cascading through and gazebos that give you the perfect view of it all, the place is truly magical.

Just a stone throw away from the Bird Park; the Butterfly Park is a tropical haven that is tweaked and custom-made for its main residents, the butterflies. With vibrant hued flowers, butterfly-friendly shrubs and trees and a huge net that allows these delicate creatures to roam freely and encompasses it all, the park has definitely gone the extra mile to take care of their star inhabitants.

Tip:
Make sure you examine every nook and corner as some areas are more densely populated with butterflies than others.
If you want the butterflies to land on you, wear bright multi-colored clothes and shoes, but do not wear insect repellant.
Note that it can get very humid and warm inside, too, so try to go early and grab a bottle of water from the entrance area.
