LEAF-CUTTER 
ANTS

Step into the extraordinary world of leaf-cutter ants – true gardeners of the tropics! These remarkable insects don't eat the leaves they carry; instead, they use them to cultivate a special fungus that serves as their food. At Neotropica, you can watch their incredible journey as they march in long, precise lines, carrying leaf fragments back to their underground "garden." Discover just how remarkably organized and resourceful these tiny workers are!

Tickets may be purchased at the reception, open daily from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, including outside of Neotropica's regular opening hours

Did you know?

CLOWNFISH
AMPHIPRION OCELLARIS

We know the clownfish as the friendly Nemo from the animated film Finding Nemo. In nature, however, these colorful reef dwellers live in close partnership with sea anemones, which protect them with their stinging tentacles. Clownfish are immune to the venom and, in return, help their hosts by cleaning away food scraps.

PRAZNOVANJE ROJSTNEGA DNEVA

Naj bo rojstni dan prava tropska dogodivščina. Odpravite se v srce tropskega deževnega gozda in se zabavajte med ribami, kuščarji, žabicami, mravljami, kačami in drugimi eksotičnimi prijatelji..

THE NEOTROPICS

A magical yet fragile ecosystem that reminds us to consider our impact on nature.

Lepo je, da imamo tako neverjeten habitat kot je amazonski deževni gozd na našem pragu. Razstavni prostor Neotropice zajema biotsko raznovrstnost delčka našega planeta in opozarja na to, kako krhko je v resnici naše naravno okolje. Namen Neotropice se ujema z misijo našega podjetja – zapustiti bolj zelen planet kot dediščino za naše otroke in prihodnje generacije.

I have been following the construction of Neotropica from the very beginning. It’s incredible how much equipment, how many animals and fish were brought in—and from so many different places! With every new addition, I was amazed by the aquarium’s refined appearance. Although I haven’t seen it in its final form yet, I’m eagerly looking forward to the opening to admire it in all its glory.
