The Nocturama is a worldwide unique exhibition: the translucent roof of the dome filters the natural daylight and creates a full moon night atmosphere inside. The reversed day and night rhythm makes it possible to take a nocturnal walk in the middle of the day and observe the mysterious, nocturnal animals of the tropical forests. Along the trails, you will discover sloths, brazilian porcupine, night monkeys, bats and many other animals.

The adventure begins after a short adaptation period, during which the eyes of the visitors adjust to the darkness of the full moon night. Many of the animal enclosures in Nocturama are semi-open so that the animals can be observed exceptionally well and at close range. The winding paths lead past a wide variety of animal species such as aardvarks and giant bark rats, as well as the large fish pond, which offers exciting insights into the underwater world. On their walk, visitors are accompanied by the endless ballet of the free-flying bats. The tour also leads through the breeding station, where many of the Nocturama species are specifically bred as part of the breeding programmes of the European Society of Zoos and Aquariums. Thus, the Papiliorama Foundation makes a valuable contribution to the protection of numerous animal species in captivity.
