A Start of a Bigger and Better Experience

An egg was laid in the metamorphosis of Penang Butterfly Farm.

On 18 October 2014, the ground was ceremoniously broken to make way for the construction for its major redevelopment in Teluk Bahang which is set to start in November 2014.

Penang Butterfly Farm currently stands at 29,000 sq ft and will expand its wings to 91,000 sq ft for the first phase of construction and eventually spread even further to 130,000 sq ft during the second phase of construction. The total investment budget for the first phase of construction is a whooping RM 38 million.

While construction is underway, the farm is still open for public until 7th of March 2014. After which, it will undergo its pupation stage where it will be closed for public in order to make way for further construction.

This redevelopment will be uniquely themed for the purpose of Education and Tourism while sharing the profound wisdom of Mother Nature.

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s to come..

Watch out for the emergence of this new facility in early 2016. 

During the said ceremony, Penang Butterfly Farm also launched 2 Children’s Insect Book authored by Mr. Kazuo Unno, a renowned insect photographer from Japan.

Another noteworthy event that happened that day was the launch of the #GrowMeToKnowMe contest to celebrate the wonderful things to come. 1000 pieces of nectar plant and food plant seedlings will be given out for a month.
