As winter arrives, our exhibition is changing too. Get ready for a double experience – in the first part, you can meet live exotic butterflies from faraway lands, while the second part invites you to discover the beauty of dozens of beautifully displayed butterfly specimens. 

Come and enjoy a little taste of the tropics even on cold winter days and escape for a moment into a world full of colour. 

And when you’ve had your fill of butterflies, Wonderland Bratislava is waiting for you with a cosy café, sweet chimney cakes and original drinks.
