Papiliorama, Butterfly house in Kerzers, Switzerland
The Papiliorama contains three large domes housing over 1000 butterflies, tropical plants, and feeding stations for continuous observation of these flying insects.
Founded in 1988, this conservation facility expanded its mission by introducing the Nocturama exhibit, which recreates night conditions for observing nocturnal animals.
Through educational displays in German, French, and English, visitors learn about butterfly metamorphosis, species protection, and the importance of biodiversity conservation.
The facility operates from 9:00 to 18:00 during summer months and 10:00 to 17:00 in winter, with adult tickets priced at 18 Swiss francs.
The Nocturama dome creates artificial darkness during daytime hours, allowing visitors to observe active nocturnal creatures like aardvarks and owl monkeys.
