The Butterfly Pavilion stands out as the world’s first independent, non-profit invertebrate zoo to receive accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
It offers visitors the chance to immerse themselves in the marvels of nature’s unsung heroes through engaging, hands-on interactive exhibits designed for all ages. Inside, you can wander through a tropical conservatory home to over 1,600 butterflies, experience holding Rosie the tarantula, and discover the remarkable adaptations of sea stars, bees, beetles, spiders, and many other invertebrates.
The Butterfly Pavilion aims to cultivate a deeper appreciation for invertebrates by educating the public on the importance of protecting and preserving endangered habitats around the world. Through its research, the Pavilion seeks innovative solutions for the conservation of invertebrates.
