The great BIOTOPIA Festival "SENSE" on October 1 & 2!
BIOTOPIA - Naturkundemuseum Bayern invites you to its BIOTOPIA Festival under the motto "SENSE - the Power of Perception" on October 1 and 2! Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of sensory perception of humans, animals and other species.
Fly like a bird
With our virtual reality flight simulator "Birdly" you can fly as an eagle over the most beautiful landscapes of Bavaria, discover the Jurassic age as a pterosaur or swim through a coral reef as a sea turtle.
Depending on availability, the Birdly can be tried out during opening hours. If the 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, the "wingspan" (fingertip to fingertip) must be at least 1.20m.
We look forward to a voluntary donation for the use of the Birdly.
In "Reef Dive" you swim as a sea turtle through a coral reef and can discover the different creatures there. In some places of the reef, the destruction by humans becomes clear and you learn what happens when we mistreat the environment.
Are you ready for a journey through time? "Jurassic Flight" is not just for dino nerds! Glide as a pterosaur through the Jurassic Age, passing giant long-necked dinosaurs, experience dangerous prehistoric predators on the hunt and discover the plant life of that time.
You always wanted to know what it's like to soar over the peaks of the Alps as an eagle? In our Berchtesgaden-Experience you can experience exactly that! Fly over mountains, over the Königssee and explore the landscape of the Berchtesgadener Land from a completely new perspective!
Become a butterfly and explore an ecosystem with plants, insects, birds, reptiles, snails, and mammals. Use your insect senses to discover aspects of our world usually hidden from our eyes. UV-Vision lets you to see hidden patterns on the plants and animals while Smell-O-Vision allows you to discover hidden insects by their pheromone trails.

Food not only fills you up, it is full of secrets and surprises. How and what do children and adults eat in other countries? Why does it smell and look so different? Which food is considered particularly healthy?
