Butterfly World Insider Tips
- Check their site for discount coupons and upcoming events. The workshops are free with the admission fee.
- Don't come with an empty stomach. Bringing food from outside is not allowed. There's a small place inside the park to get food but it's a bit expensive.
- Bring your camera to catch all the flying action but leave the monopod or tripod because it's not allowed inside the park.
- The colors of the winged creatures are more vibrant on sunny days. In case it rains after you go in, the park issues a rain check so you can come back on another day.
