This is the exterior of the upgraded Penang Butterfly Farm in Teluk Bahang that was recently built. It is a huge building housing many exhibitions, souvenir shop, cinema and a cafe. We were driving round Penang Island and chanced upon this mega building at the corner of the junction and curiosity got the better of us. Hence, we paid RM27 per adult and it is free entrance for the disabled.
This banner is located near the entrance and shows the various displays and building sections so that you won't get lost. It is easy to read and navigate with this banner. Pamphlets are placed on the table for the taking as a guide.
This is a giant frog slide for kids to play with. Inside the exhibit are tiny frogs, tadpoles, butterflies, pupa, fireflies, centipedes and dragonflies.
This is the enclosure and view from inside Entopia. Notice the fake tree and leaves right smack in the center. There are guided walkways and stairs to take you through from one exhibit to the next.
The butterflies on the right are the real ones and are poisonous or bitter in taste. Predators which have previously eaten the real poisonous butterflies will remember the nautious effects and will avoid such species in future. On the left specimens are the fakes mimicking the real ones and act like the real ones too. They are non poisonous but the pattern on the wings are almost similar to the ones on the right.
This banner shows the directions as you take the escalator up to the cinema showing a movie related to insects and butterflies.
This is a hand simulator game with a detector to get the coordinates of your hand movements and display them on the screen to protect the butterflies that appear on screen and get rid of predators. There are Levels 1 and 2 for various challenges.
This pink and white paper cuts resemble butterfly shape and are pieced together into a creation from floor to ceiling. It is quite near the exit where there is a souvenir shop. For more information, check out the address and contact number below:
