Invertebrates live where they find habitat and they keep those environments healthy through habitat relationships. Using live animals, media, and critical thinking, students uncover predators, prey, decomposers, symbiosis and more.
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.
