Apart from butterflies, there are also frogs, scorpions and other insects here living in their natural habitat. The beauty of the place is enhanced by the existence of a lily pond, a rock garden, several artificial waterfalls and a bubbling mud pool. Other attractions at the farm include a breeding area, laboratory, exhibition area, souvenir shops and an information centre.
