KL: Butterfly Park

The last time I went to the Butterfly Park was with Yassin on December 2006 and for some reasons I had forgotten to post pictures.  The only thing I published was my drawing on Yassin and his encounter with a particular butterfly!

And today for the second time, I went there again with husband and son. The Butterfly Park is pretty much the same except maybe for the admission fee. The last time I went it was RM5 for adults and RM1 for children. Now it is RM8 and RM4 respectively. Extra RM1 for camera. But I’m not complaining;  it’s worth it, the butterflies are pretty!

Some butterflies are friendly too!

The Butterfly Park is actually a mini tropical rain forest within the city that consists of more than 6,000 butterflies and 15,000 plants.

Contributing to Butterfly Park’s beautiful landscape is a uniquely designed hydro-pond built with a limestone path right in the center.

Facilities in the park include an informative insect museum.
