Papilonia Butterfly House: A Tropical Escape in Prague

Step into a vibrant and enchanting world at the Papilonia Butterfly House, located in the heart of Prague's New Town. This unique butterfly house offers a serene escape, inspired by the ancient temples of Angkor Wat, where visitors can immerse themselves in a rainforest-like atmosphere. Inside, hundreds of live, exotic butterflies from regions like South America, Mexico, Thailand, and Sub-Saharan Africa flutter freely around lush greenery, scenic rivulets, and tropical plants. With no barriers between visitors and the butterflies, these beautiful creatures often interact with guests, creating unforgettable photo opportunities. Some species boast wingspans of up to 20 cm. The Butterfly House maintains a constant temperature of 26°C and high humidity, ensuring ideal living conditions for the butterflies. The artificial lighting allows the ecosystem to operate independently of external weather conditions. Visitors can witness the entire butterfly life cycle, from chrysalis to soaring adult, with new butterflies hatching every few minutes. Located on the first floor of The Playground building at Na Příkopě 854/14, Papilonia is easily accessible and offers a memorable experience for families, nature lovers, and photographers alike.
