Papiliorama

The Papiliorama in Kerzers, Switzerland, is a zoological institution dedicated to tropical biodiversity and nature conservation. Its butterfly dome houses over 1,000 exotic butterflies in a lush tropical garden, alongside birds and fish.

The outdoor Wild Seeland area showcases native Swiss flora and fauna, including a petting zoo and a natural playground.
