Student scientists explore adaptations and critical ecological relationships of key aquatic invertebrates. Students analyze real data to understand how environmental changes can impact these invertebrates and ecosystems.
Sitting on 11 acres of land, the Butterfly Pavilion was opened in 1995 and was the first stand-alone non-profit insect zoo in the U.S. There are five main exhibit areas to teach visitors about butterflies and other invertebrates. They offer both guided and self-guided tours along with a class facilitated by an educator. Or they can also bring the material straight to your classroom with interactive activities and live animals and/or specimens, models, and media.
