Experience how the naturally warm water from the Lötschberg is used to grow tropical fruits and to produce real sturgeon caviar. In five thematic worlds, visitors are invited to an interactive exhibition. The topics of water, sturgeon, caviar, pleasure and energy, always in close connection with the events within the tropical house, are animated and communicated in a playful manner, giving the opportunity to learn a lot of new things and to try them out. At the beginning, virtual figures – a groundhog from the region, a sturgeon, a scientist, and a cook – welcome you and guide you through the exhibition.

Jeden Sonntag um 14 Uhr
Hier gedeiht alles, was wertvoll ist: Tiere, Pflanzen und auch Wissen. Das Tropenhaus verlässt man nach jedem Besuch immer etwas schlauer - erst recht nach einer öffentlichen Führung.

Mit dieser Führung erhalten Sie Einblicke in die verschiedenen Bereiche des Tropenhaus Frutigen. Ideal, um danach die Ausstellung und den Tropengarten auf eigene Faust noch selber zu erkunden.
