For those who want to experience the world through the senses of an insect, a flight with the virtual reality flight simulator "Birdly" in the BIOTOPIA Lab is just the thing. In the short flight experience the visitors can discover aspects of the world that are normally hidden from the eyes. By UV vision they recognise hidden patterns on plants and animals, or discover hidden insects by their pheromone traces.Click here for the programme schedule.

If someone wants to discover even more fascinating worlds: with Birdly he or she can also fly as an eagle over the most beautiful landscapes of Bavaria, discover the Jurassic period as a pterosaur or swim through a coral reef as a sea turtle.

The Birdly can be explored during opening hours, depending on availability. If demand is high, you may have to wait a little. Use this time to explore the other areas of the BIOTOPIA Lab!

To fly with the Birdly, your "wingspan" (fingertip to fingertip) must be at least 1.20 meter.
