Namhae Butterfly Ecological Park is a specialized educational facility dedicated to the study and observation of lepidoptera in Namhae-gun. The park features a large-scale glass greenhouse that mimics a natural butterfly habitat, allowing visitors to observe live butterflies in various life stages. It serves as a center for ecological research, housing an exhibition hall that details the lifecycle, anatomy, and classification of butterflies. The park grounds include outdoor botanical spaces planted with specific nectar flowers to attract and support native butterfly populations. Educational programs focused on insect conservation and biology are frequently conducted for families and school groups. The site is integrated into the larger Namhae-gun ecological tourism zone, emphasizing local biodiversity.
