Butterfly Pavilion

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.
