If you're not a fan of cave fauna, Vivarium might not appeal to you, especially since its main attraction - the olm - can also be seen in an aquarium during the Postojna Cave tour. However, if you decide to visit, perhaps taking advantage of the discounted admission as part of a combo ticket with the caves and the Predjama Castle, you'll experience a half-hour tour of a cave that once served as a research laboratory. In the cave, you can observe local fauna in terrariums and aquariums. Unfortunatelly, many of the creatures are so tiny that they're difficult to spot. Be prepared for the cave's temperature, which is around 10°C. The entire exhibit is very well done, with informative panels and an audio guide available in multiple languages, which I particularly appreciated.

A unique place that is part of the Postojna cave. It is very important to mention many possibilities for obtaining information about the fauna and flora in the Postojna cave system and cave systems in general. I personally appreciate the perfect scientific elaboration into a very educational form. I was here for the second time and I discovered new interesting information again. In general, one of the most beautiful exhibits

Lovely small aquarium or mini zoo with some examples of the insects and animals living in the caves… the temperature is 10 degrees or below. You are not allow to take photos with flash disturbs the little creatures. Is very dark in there and wet. Bring some trainers with grip … you can see there the little dragan or better know as salamander you must pay for this attraction…. The place is very small but interesting

It was very well worth the little extra money to enter this place.. it was nice to learn and understand the constraints for creatures to live and evolve in such cave ecosystems.. and on top it was nice to view and observe the Olm up close! Highly recommended to allow at least one hour in this place preferably after you have visited the cave so you don't have time constraints..

When booking I was tempted to skip the vivarium as I thought it'd be tedious but I am so glad I didn't. The exhibition explained how the caves were formed, how life survives inside and what life there is, including 150 species identified so far. The star was the olm, a sort of albino lizard with no eyes that has adapted to life in the dark and lives for up to 100 years.

It is pretty pointless to visit the Vivarium if you visit the Postojna Caves ( which you absolutely should of course!) In the Vivarium, there are about 10 or so tanks and we could only see 3 of the creatures as cave creatures are small and colorless. The descriptions are nice. Take warm clothes if you do decide to go as it is also 10 degrees there, just like the caves.
