Papiliorama Havelte

Papiliorama Havelte is a butterfly house where numerous species live in a controlled tropical environment with native plants and regulated humidity. The space is designed to allow butterflies to fly freely while visitors observe them up close.

The facility opened in 1998 and quickly became a center for butterfly observation in the northern province of Drenthe. Since its opening, it has focused on conservation and environmental education.

Visitors encounter butterflies flying freely in a warm, humid space designed to mirror their natural habitat, allowing direct observation of their behavior. This close experience helps people connect with these insects and appreciate their role in nature.

The experience suits all ages and requires no special knowledge to enjoy the butterflies. The temperature-controlled environment is comfortable and allows visitors to move through the facility at their own pace.

The facility integrates numerous plant species carefully selected to support the habitats of different butterflies. This thoughtfully designed environment allows the insects to exhibit natural behaviors like feeding and mating.
