Entopia Penang was founded by David Goh, a dedicated teacher and self-taught entomologist with a vision of creating a tropical butterfly sanctuary. In 1986, he established the Penang Butterfly Farm, the world's first of its kind, attracting over 5 million visitors and earning widespread recognition.
Throughout its history, the farm reached major milestones, including hosting global conferences and launching educational initiatives. In 2015, it transformed, evolving into Entopia—a nature discovery hub that goes beyond butterflies. Today, Entopia is dedicated to conservation and education, inspiring visitors to connect with the wonders of nature.
