Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park
The Basics
The majority of tours combine a visit to Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park with a stop at Kuala Lumpur Bird Park and Orchid Garden, both of which are within a few minutes’ walk of the reserve in the city’s Lake Gardens. Ideal for nature lovers, these tours transport you to a natural haven right in the center of Malaysia’s metropolitan capital. Visits to the butterfly park generally last around 45 minutes to an hour, giving you plenty of time to tick off other attractions in the same day. The butterfly reserve is also home to an insect museum, which exhibits Malaysia’s giant spider and centipede species.
Things to Know Before You Go

When to Get There
Due to the grand scale of the Lake Gardens, crowds are generally quite evenly dispersed throughout each park, making the butterfly garden accessible during any time of day.
Other Animals at Home in the Garden
Keep your eyes peeled for the butterfly park’s other inhabitants, which include Japanese koi carp—which you can feed with food purchased at the entrance counter—and freshwater turtles.
