Schmetterlingshaus im Elbauenpark, Butterfly house and zoo in Elbauenpark, Germany.
The butterfly house in Elbauenpark is a glass greenhouse in Magdeburg that creates a tropical environment for various butterfly species. The building also houses other animals such as iguanas and geckos as well as a water basin with fish.
The butterfly house was created in 2000 as part of the park development following the Federal Garden Exhibition in Magdeburg. The facility was intended from the start as a central place for observing tropical life forms in the city.
The butterfly house allows visitors to observe tropical species behaving as they would in their natural environment. You can watch how different butterflies move and interact while they fly among the plants.
A visit requires being aware of the humid and warm conditions necessary for the tropical animals. It is advisable to wear comfortable clothing and allow time to explore the various areas.
A lesser-known detail is that certain butterfly species emerge directly from their cocoons and dry their wings here. This reveals the natural process that many visitors would otherwise never witness.
