The Penang Butterfly Farm, reputedly the world's first tropical live butterfly sanctuary, is just 15 minutes away from the Batu Ferringhi tourist belt. Established in 1986, the farm features some 4000 live butterflies of 150 different species. Explore the nature park that features butterflies and small reptiles in their natural habitats and be sure not to stop in to the Museum of Asian Artifacts. Expansion plans are underway to include a night zoo, which will feature nocturnal creatures and tropical insects. The farm is a not-to-be-missed destination and attracts 250 to 300 visitors daily.
