Led by a Butterfly Pavilion science educator and a Colorado Ballet dance educator; students dance and move to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly. Learners also examine preserved butterflies at every stage of the 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.
