Zoos
The Butterfly House in Karwia, a summer resort village of the Władysławowo commune, gathers dozens of species of live, freely flying butterflies from the farthest corners of the world. A tropical climate rules inside: it is warm, very green and always rain-free, so a visit can double as a way to warm up on a cooler day by the beach. Butterflies land on visitors' arms and heads, and this reliably draws the loudest delight among children.
The largest specimens have a wingspan reaching almost 30 centimetres — they look as if taken from textbooks of the exotic. During your visit you will learn the full life cycle of a butterfly and see caterpillars and chrysalises of shapes you will not find in Polish meadows. Guides available at no extra charge with your ticket explain whether butterflies live only briefly, why they carry two pairs of wings, how fast they fly and how they see the world.
The Butterfly House operates in summer, from June to the end of August, daily from 10:00 to 20:00. It is at ul. Kopernika 29A in Karwia, within walking distance of the village centre. Current ticket prices are worth verifying before your visit on the website that runs the region's butterfly houses. Bring a camera: butterflies perch on flowers, and some on guests, giving you photos unlike any beach shot.
Karwia lies at the end of the string of seaside resorts of the Władysławowo commune, with a wide beach and cliffs towards Lisi Jar. After the butterfly house you can head for the beach, walk to Lisi Jar, or turn towards Władysławowo, home to another butterfly house — the largest in Poland — in its port.
