When it's warm outside, it's even warmer in our tropical butterfly conservatory. Please be prepared to take breaks, stay hydrated, and feel free to come and go to keep cool! We'll also plan to close the conservatory for 15 minute cooling breaks at 11:00 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:00 p.m. Thanks for visiting!

Insectival

Get ready for the ultimate bug party! Butterfly Pavilion is turning 30, and we’re throwing a two-day festival to celebrate!

Our biggest and boldest summer event ever, this weekend-long festival honors the incredible world of invertebrates, animals without backbones, from butterflies and bees to spiders, scorpions, and millipedes. Taking place July 12–13, Insectival is the ultimate summer adventure for families, bug lovers, and curious minds of all ages to experience live music, immersive exhibits, educational workshops, a marketplace, firsthand animal encounters, and spine-tingling fun at one of Colorado’s summer event highlights!
