Events at this location

Butterfly Pavilion is the first Association of Zoos and Aquariums-accredited, stand alone, non-profit invertebrate zoo in the world. Our immersive exhibits provide guests with the opportunity to discover the wonders of nature's hidden heroes through hands-on, interactive experiences catered to all ages.

Once in a lifetime...

an opportunity arises to create something from the ground up to make a difference in the world.

The new Butterfly Pavilion will be a new, state-of-the-art learning and research facility in Colorado that will serve as the preeminent local, national and global hub for invertebrate knowledge, conservation and education.

The facility will inspire both appreciation and action by providing up-close encounters with animals and natural environments, informed by decades of educational and scientific expertise. In addition, the facility will sit in a one-of-a-kind neighborhood designed to support pollinators in their natural habitats, while providing new homes, schools, shops and restaurants for residents and visitors alike.

We invite you to learn more about our future and join us in making it a reality.
