Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park, Butterfly zoo in Lake Gardens, Malaysia
The Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park is a butterfly zoo located within Lake Gardens where thousands of butterflies fly freely among planted gardens and vegetation. The site is filled with tropical plants and ferns arranged to create suitable living spaces for the insects.
The park was founded in 1992 and became one of the largest butterfly houses in the world over time. This growth made it a destination that draws visitors from many countries.
The park displays native butterfly species in settings that resemble their natural habitats, allowing visitors to watch them interact with flowers and plants throughout the day. The garden layout creates spaces where these insects move freely without barriers between them and observers.
The park is within walking distance of Pasar Seni train station, making it easy to reach by public transport. Visitors should be prepared for humid conditions inside since the environment needs to stay warm for the butterflies to thrive.
A standout species here is the Rajah Brooke's birdwing, a large butterfly with black and green wings that catches every visitor's attention. This particular insect is both rare and striking, making it memorable for those who manage to spot it.
