Fjärilshuset-Haga Ocean

Stockholm


The steamy Fjärilshuset ('butterfly house') is a great choice for a cold-weather visit. It recreates a tropical environment, complete with free-flying birds and butterflies, and some very friendly fish, plus a large shark aquarium. Temporary exhibits range from wildlife photography to animatronic rain-forest creatures.

Take the tunnelbana to T-Odenplan to catch the bus.
