Papiliorama
A tropical dome ecopark with thousands of butterflies, hummingbirds and a nocturnal animal house. It is the most popular family attraction in the Three Lakes region.
Papiliorama is located in Kerzers (Chiètres) and has three huge tropical domes. In the butterfly house, thousands of butterflies from around the world flutter freely. The 'Rainforest' dome recreates lowland forest from Belize, with a canopy walkway, toucans and otters. The 'Night House' displays nocturnal animals in an environment where day and night are reversed. Outdoors there is also a children's zoo. Admission is about CHF 20. The site has its own railway station, Kerzers Papiliorama, about 25 minutes by train from Neuchâtel.
