Butterfly Pavillion & Insect Center

Category: Sightseeing Attraction

The Butterfly Pavilion combines science education with hands-on fun to teach visitors about invertebrates, science and conservation. The interactive exhibits are geared primarily towards families with kids ages 2 to 12 years old, but people of all ages will enjoy the beauty and wonder of a tropical conservatory filled with 1,200 free-flying butterflies imported from around the globe. The constant mist creates a hazy habitat to support the lush green plants that are both food and home to the butterfly inhabitants. Giant animatronic bugs, touch carts, nature trails, and glass enclosed bee factory are a few more of the amazing sites you'll see here.

Interacting with and viewing the extensive collection of live invertebrates can be an eye-opening experience for anyone, and one that is both life changing and unique! Outside the pavilion is a large garden featuring indigenous wildflowers and a short nature trail. Allow 2 to 3 hours to fully experience the museum!
