4 photosButterfly Park & Insect Kingdom
Closed4.4/5151 ReviewsSingapore4.7km from downtown
"The insect kingdom is a wonderful world! All kinds of forms, all kinds of insects are here, gathered together. It is dizzying! To be honest, I know, I know, I can count on one hand, but it doesn't affect my appreciation of them."Highlights: The Butterfly Park and Insect Kingdom are located on Sentosa Island. From the name, the entire attraction consists of two venues, the Butterfly Park and the Insect Kingdom Museum. The Butterfly Pavilion is a unique theme park in Singapore, where you can enjoy a variety of colorful butterflies. It is a place that integrates popular science, tourism and animal protection. Meanwhile, the Insect Kingdom Museum is a wonderfully themed museum in Singapore, where a variety of insects from all over the world are collected. Both venues are very suitable for parents to bring their children to play together. After entering from the entrance is the Butterfly Park, which imitates the living environment of butterflies to create a tropical rain forest. In addition to more than 120 kinds of butterflies, there are also more than 15,000 plants of 100 kinds. In the fragrant and lush park, a butterfly with a wonderful pattern is either flying gracefully in the air, or lying on the flower and resting quietly. Walking through one of them, there may be butterflies flying on your hands and shoulders, changing various postures, and you can take pictures with them as you like. According to the staff, the butterfly garden can keep the natural enemies of butterflies such as spiders and lizards out of the garden, but the main thing is to plant various plants to provide a growing environment for butterflies. A female butterfly about to lay her eggs selectively picks a plant and lays her eggs on a leaf, so that each butterfly larvae is born with a specific plant as a habitat, and that leaf is their food. When a large swath of forest is cleared, it can completely wipe out certain plants in an area, and some butterflies are also wiped out due to the loss of their spawning grounds. Among the more than 80 species of butterflies that are extinct in Singapore, many are very picky about where they lay their eggs. Therefore, the Park Service has planted 80 species of plants in the butterfly garden to give butterflies a "home". Go further inside and you'll also see the bird and reptile area, where you can interact with birds like parrots, feed them, or let them crawl on your shoulders. In the reptile area, in addition to the general lizards, chameleons and other amphibians, there are many rare animals that are rarely seen. Inside the Butterfly Park is the Insect Kingdom Museum, the largest insect museum in Asia, displaying more than 4,000 species of insects and specimens, including the world's largest beetle, the giant rhinoceros beetle with a body length of 160 cm. Here, visitors can clearly understand their living habits and evolutionary history over hundreds of millions of years. There are English annotations next to each specimen. Of course, the most striking thing in the museum is the world's first insect cave, which is 70 meters long. You can see the cute or hideous insects accompanied by the glow of fireflies. Although the entire Butterfly Park and Insect Kingdom are not large in size, what is important is the beautiful tropical natural environment inside and out. It is a wonderful feeling of the harmonious coexistence of butterflies, birds, insects, humans and nature, which is intoxicating.Show Less - TOP 14
