Papilonia

At Papilonia, hundreds of exotic butterflies fly freely around the visitors. There are no barriers between you and the butterflies, so you can watch them up close. 🦋

The tropical climate is warm and humid, almost like an exotic vacation, and the butterflies come from rainforests in the Amazon Basin, sub-Saharan Africa, the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia. The species on display change over the course of the year, so a visit at a different time of year can show completely new butterflies.

• Watch butterflies emerge from their cocoons and take their first flight

• Follow the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly up close

• Wingspans of up to 20 cm in some species

• Take photos without restrictions and without extra fees

Tip for kids and families: A fruity scent or a yellow or red T-shirt increases the chance that a butterfly will land on your shoulder.
