Day and night the rainforest is full of life and activity. Countless animal species enliven the jungle where a large variety of plants species can be found. In the tropical gardens Papiliorama and Nocturama in Kerzers, visitors discover the fascinating world of the tropics without having to fly half around the world.
1000 tropical butterflies and rare colibris live here. Visitors can make unusual obervations among the animals in Nocturama. The roof's cupola turns daylight into a fullmoon night. At night, large floodlights imitate daylight. This enables the visitor to observe during daylight hours the lively play of sloths, bats, night monkeys and anacondas, who are active at night.
Jungle Trek experience: tropical forests, mangrove swamps and orchid ponds transport visitors to faraway lands in the company of freely roaming toucans, roseate spoonbills and iguanas.
