Brought my family there recently and we went pretty early but sad to say it was raining heavily when we arrived. The staff told us it was no point going in during rain as it will be like open air also inside. So we waited and thankfully there is a cafe and we ordered some hot drinks and snacks while waiting for the rain to stop. Thankfully rain stopped after 1 hour! We went inside and overall it was a pretty fun experience for my kids. Even though it is supposed to be a butterfly farm, there are a lot of other exhibits as well such as various insects and also reptiles. We slowly walk and enjoy all the exhibits and also there is an open area inside where you can see the butterflies flying around. Due to rain we did not manage to see much butterflies but still manage to view a few close ups. There are quite a lot of things to enjoy inside and I think it is worth the visit. At least my kids told me they really enjoyed the trip. It took us about 2 hours to fully complete the whole walkabout. I think it is a good idea to go early in the morning because you get more available parking slots and the weather is not too hot yet. When we left after or around lunch time, the parking spaces already all taken up. Personally I have visited this place a few times since my childhood and I have seen good progress and how they continue to revamp and make it nicer. Good job!

I have to admit the RM150+ pricetag for 2 adults and 1 child seemed really steep, especially when we only pay RM18 oer adult at the KL Butterfly park. However, Entopia is in a class of its own. For lepidopterology enthusiasts, this is a FANTASTIC gem hidden at the far end of Penang. Entopia is well-ventilated with an impressive collection of live butterflies. The museum is very current - with microscopes & tablet screens to view the different stages of the butterfly metamorphosis and the displays and artwork is breathtaking. I know this sounds patronizing, but visiting Entopia feels like an overseas attraction, not a run-down Malaysian white elephant. We visited on a Saturday morning and it was not crowded at all, probably 10 other families. There was plenty of parking available and the staff are very friendly & helpful. The building is well-ventilated and cool, even during the later part of the morning and noon. Be sure to visit the indoor exhibition between 1-2pm, where for MY12-MYR15, you can spin silk from a silkworm to make a little tassle. This was a great activity for little children and it also opens your eyes to the amount of effort it takes to make a silk scarf and the little tassle affixed to a bookmark is a great souvenier to take home. If you have a chld below 12, this is a perfect place to spend 2-3 hours.

Excellent half day activity for the family with loads of educational fun! The attraction is a lot larger than we expected. You explore the outdoor area first, where you would get to interact with butterflies like never before. Having firsthand experience releasing newly transformed butterflies into the space was quite a special experience enjoyed by both kids and adults! You get to learn about other animals and insects and interact with really interesting ones as well! After the outdoor area, you'll get led into an indoor part of the attraction that is air-conditioned, which is a great place to cool off on a hot day. The team will explain how to handle certain insects properly, and you'll get to hold a few of them, which was really cool. There are clean toilets distributed throughout the facility, and there is a gift shop and cafe near the exit. There are taxi touts at the exit, so just be careful not to get cheated. They will tell you that taxis and grab cars don't go there to pick up customers, which was obviously not true. We got a grab booking in less than a minute. We booked our tickets off Klook when we got there, because it was cheaper than getting tickets at the ticketing booth. Entopia is definitely a must-visit for families with kids.
