Our park: a true natural sanctuary
MONOWA is a 900 m² tropical garden where birds fly daily among 1800 and 2000 tropical butterflies from all parts of the world. Alongside them live birds, fish, turtles, and stick insects in an ecosystem carefully designed to recreate the
conditions of their areas of origin.
In our tropical garden you can discover

The butterflies you can see at MONOWA are born in our garden, where they complete the final stage of their life cycle and fly freely. Their chrysalides come from sustainable butterfly farms located in tropical countries such as Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, El Salvador, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Belize, and Kenya.
These farms play an important role in biodiversity conservation, as they offer a sustainable economic alternative to activities that contribute to deforestation. Furthermore, they generate employment for local communities and help protect rainforest areas through the responsible use of their natural resources.

Fluturije KryeziTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Es war sehr schön drin aber auch warm! Ich fand den Eintritt zu viel habe ca 15 Euro bezahlt, für eine Familie weekende ich es zu teuer. Die Schmetterlinge sind natürlich wunderschön und es ist auch schön drin eingerichtet - aber kleiner als erwartet! Die Bar draussen ist sehr nett und freundlich aber zu teuer! Μαρία ΧόνδρηTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are a lot of species of butterflies, flying all around you. You can be there only for 15 minutes or stay for 2 hours, it depends on how many photos you would like to take. We spent about 1,5 hour, but I would say that 1 hour of visiting is fine! Strongly recommend!!! Katherine GeorgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely stunning. If you like butterflies you need to go here.
