The Butterfly Pavilion serves over 35,000 students each year through outreach and onsite education programs. All of our field trip classes meet Colorado State Model Content Educational Standards.

Camps and Classes

The Butterfly Pavilion offers fun and educational camps with a focus on invertebrate animals such as insects and spiders. Come experience the joys of nature with us this year! All camps include live animal encounters, outdoor explorations, games, and crafts. Camps are offered during the summer from June to August, as well as on Out of School Days during the school year. We offer 1 ½ hour camps, half day camps, and full day camp experiences for ages 4-9. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.

Spineless Spotlights

Spineless Spotlights are free educational programs offered during the course of the day at the Butterfly Pavilion. These are entertaining opportunities for our visitors to learn even more about our amazing invertebrates! Our programs are interactive and appropriate for all ages. All have an audience participation component; several feature live animals.

Sunset Strolls

Visitors are invited to experience an enchanting evening butterfly program in our tropical conservatory. Participants enjoy a guided walk through the conservatory at dusk and have the opportunity to observe butterflies and activities not normally seen during regular operating hours. Sunset Strolls are offered monthly. Pre-registration is required. The Butterfly Pavilion also offers Group Sunset Strolls if you'd like to have a program exclusively for your group!
