Robert's Google+



It was a butterfly farm. Now, it is literally a theme park.





This is a school of insects. Not just display of butterflies. A tons of educational tools were being deployed for the visitors to digest. Awe and groundbreaking to express the experience given.



On the day of visit, there was a sight of middle east tourists enjoying their trip to Entopia. Good place for family and group,


I will be joining them for a lifetime adventure offered by Entopia. ( The butterfly theme park). One can learn nearly everything about butterfly and other insects too. Not from text book, from watching closely with both of your eyes.


Keep the brochure and wear the bracelet tag for later !



It takes time to visit all of it. There was an underground learning facility and a western concept restaurant. Handful of toilets and baby changing room. There is no turning back as you might lost on the way.



1. The little one shapes our land and fertilize the soil.



They are well fed !.   Give them a round of applause for what they did to our soil. We would not have so many palm trees without them. Their continuous effort is appreciated.



2. Plants and Flowers



For your information, a native flower of Madagascar. Flame of the forest is one of the useful plants. To be able to see it closely, surely no regret in life.


I am not a flower expert. This look like the flame of the forest from my view.

 Besides, there are flower section too.
