As a whole group, students reveal how butterflies and moths differ by dressing up a student or teacher and by studying preserved butterflies and moths. In an active metamorphosis game, students experience the amazing butterfly life cycle.
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.
