Category: tropical butterfly house

A tropical butterfly house in the Olympia Teplice shopping centre, combined with a trail following in the footsteps of dinosaurs. Hundreds of exotic butterflies from the Amazon and the jungles of Thailand, with wingspans of up to 20 cm, fly freely around visitors, and life-size skeletons of prehistoric animals can be seen along the way. Reservations are not required; groups of 10 or more should announce their visit in advance. Butterfly Fairy Tales with a guide are held for children aged 3 and up.

Why visit this place?

• The largest butterflies here have a wingspan of up to 20 cm, roughly the length of a soup spoon.
• The butterflies come from rainforests stretching from Amazonia through Mexico and sub-Saharan Africa to the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia.
• The exhibition is interactive — it expects you to touch the exhibits and try them out.
• Allow roughly an hour; the programme is aimed at every age group from preschool to secondary school.
• There are 68 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
• The whole programme is indoors, so rain is not a problem.
