Butterfly Garden, Butterfly zoo in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
The Butterfly Garden is a zoological space in Cameron Highlands that houses various butterfly species, insects, reptiles, and small mammals in a tropical environment. The facility includes separate enclosures where different creatures are displayed and can be observed at close range.
The facility emerged as part of the region's expansion into nature-based tourism and wildlife appreciation during recent decades. It developed alongside the highlands' growing focus on outdoor recreation and educational experiences about local ecosystems.
The garden reflects how local communities value tropical biodiversity and use such spaces to connect with native wildlife in their region. Visitors experience firsthand the creatures that inhabit the surrounding highlands.
The site is walkable with pathways connecting the different animal areas, though some sections involve gentle slopes. Wear comfortable shoes and prepare for warm, humid weather typical of the highlands, with occasional rain.
Beyond butterflies, the garden houses geckos, beetles, stick insects, snakes, guinea pigs, goats, hedgehogs, and frogs. This mix of creatures makes it far more diverse than its name suggests.
