In the Noctarium, our visitors can watch up to one hundred tropical bats fly about and do their acrobatic flight maneuvers or feed on their favourite food, bananas – a wonderful experience the whole family will never forget.
Groups may explore the Noctalis Exhibition on their own or join a guided tour. Please find out about our varied program.
