In this show and tell presentation, guests meet invertebrates from diverse environments around the globe, hear about their characteristics, including where and how they live and learn why they are important in our world. Learners may take a closer look at live, safely enclosed spineless creatures and hold Rosie* the tarantula!
*Must be at least 3 years old to hold Rosie.
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.
