Hundreds of tropical butterflies within arm’s reach
Upon entering the Butterfly House, you find yourself in a space with a carefully controlled tropical climate — elevated temperature and humidity that recreate the butterflies’ natural living environment. Among the species you can encounter here are the magnificent Blue Morpho (Morpho peleides) with intensely blue wings, the Monarch (Danaus plexippus) known for its record-long migrations, and the impressively-sized owl butterfly (Caligo memnon).
Educational boards describing the origin of each species, their life cycle and habits are located throughout the venue. It is not only a visual attraction — the venue also serves an educational function, allowing you to get to know the fascinating world of tropical insects up close. The butterflies land on visitors’ clothing and hands, making contact with nature direct and unforgettable here.
An attraction for any weather
The entire exhibition is indoors, which makes it an excellent choice for rainy or cool days by the Baltic Sea. The venue is friendly to families with prams. The visit time is approximately 30–45 minutes — enough to calmly view all the species and take souvenir photos.
In the summer season, the venue is open daily from 9:00 to 20:00. The ticket prices are 35 PLN when purchased online and 40 PLN at the ticket office (adults) and 30 PLN for children. Attractive combined packages are available: a ticket to the Butterfly House and the Museum of Illusions costs 85 PLN (adults) or 70 PLN (children). The three-attraction package — with a Mila boat cruise — is 130 PLN and 110 PLN respectively. It is worth knowing that guests booking at least 3 nights at HT Houseboats or Herbals Glamping receive free tickets to both attractions.
Who is the Butterfly House for
It is an ideal attraction for families with children — safe and engaging even for the youngest from about 2 years old. Nature lovers and macro photography enthusiasts will find dozens of opportunities for exceptional shots — tropical butterflies in natural motion are a subject that is hard to capture elsewhere in Poland. Couples looking for an original idea for an afternoon together will also appreciate the intimate, exotic atmosphere of this place. The venue also accommodates organised groups and school trips.
