What you’ll find at the Butterfly Farm

Expect butterflies, insects and a few other animals, with plenty of chances for close-up photos. In Traveloka’s words, the farm is a paradise for butterflies and other animals at Kea Farm¹.

What the Kea Farm butterfly attractions offer, according to Wikivoyage:

• Exhibits of many butterfly and insect species².
• In the insect garden, a staff member takes the insects out so you can photograph them².
• A shop on the top floor selling traditional handicrafts and fashion clothing².

Butterfly Farm opening hours

The Butterfly Farm is open every day³ on its Google Maps listing, with later closing at the end of the week.

Hours elsewhere differ: Traveloka gives 8.30am–6pm daily¹. If you’re arriving late on a Friday or at the weekend, the shorter hours are the safer bet.

How do you get to the Butterfly Farm from Brinchang?

Take a taxi or the local bus from Brinchang; walking works too, but it’s slow.

From Tanah Rata, the main tourist town, the tourist bus stops in Brinchang, Kea Farm, Tringkap and Kuala Terla², so you can ride it straight to Kea Farm.

Cameron Highlands is reached only by road⁴, roughly 85² to 90 km⁵ from Ipoh. Buses from Kuala Lumpur’s Terminal Bersepadu Selatan to Tanah Rata take about 4½ hours². The routes up from KL, Ipoh and Tapah are all on one page.

When is the best time to visit?

Go in the morning: start at the Kea Farm morning market, which runs from about 7 to 10.30am¹, then head to the farm when it opens at 08:30³.

For the time of year, here’s BOH Tea’s advice for Cameron Highlands as a whole:

Days seldom go above 25 °C and nights can drop to 12 °C², so bring a light layer for an early start.

Nearby at Kea Farm and Brinchang

The Butterfly Farm sits among a cluster of Kea Farm stops, so it’s easy to fold into a morning of them:

• Kea Farm market: the fresh produce market in Cameron Highlands at Kea Farm, 2 km north of Brinchang².
• Flora Park: Flora Park near Kea Farm market is a 6-minute walk from Kea Farm Market⁷.
• The Sheep Sanctuary: at Kea Farm Market, behind Kea Valley Hotel, open 9am–5.30pm daily⁸.
• Rose Centre: at Rose Valley Village, Kea Farm, open 8AM–6PM daily². Traveloka lists Rose Valley, a flower garden known for its roses¹, as a nearby stop.
• Ee Feng Gu Honey Bee Farm: between Kea Farm and Tringkap, open 8AM–7PM, with free admission².
• Kok Lim Self-Plucking Strawberry Farm: on Jalan Sungai Burung, between Kea Farm and Brinchang². The Cameron Highlands strawberry farms guide covers the others.

Touring with children? The Agro Market is on Women’s Weekly’s list of things to do with kids⁹. It has parrots, lovebirds and Mandarin ducks and plenty of free parking⁹.

If animals are the theme of your day, add a visit to the Cat House in Brinchang. Basing yourself in Brinchang keeps all of these close, and there’s more on things to do in the highlands for the rest of your trip.

Tours that include a butterfly stop

Some day tours build a butterfly attraction into the route:

• Exotic Asia Holidays says its day tour from KL includes Butterfly Garden and Lavender Garden entrance fees¹⁰, plus a private vehicle and a driver-guide.
• Discover Camerons says its full-day tour visits a butterfly and insect farm, an orchid and rose garden, local markets and Sam Poh Temple¹¹.

Ask the operator which butterfly attraction is on the route before you book.

Prefer to have the driving sorted? You can book a private or join-in day tour from Kuala Lumpur and ask before booking whether the Butterfly Farm can be added to the day.
