Spider Zone

Opening October 1st.

Get Close, Get Very Close. Butterfly Pavilion invites guests to engage with some new friends in Spider Zone, an exotic enclosure filled with hundreds of free-roaming orb-weaving spiders.

Taking over a portion of the Wings of the Tropics ’s butterfly conservatory, guests can walk amongst spiders with no glass, and no barriers, just you and hundreds of magnificent Orb weavers spinning their webs all around you. Discover their brilliance and significance during this special exhibition celebrating spiders and the incredible impact they make in our world.
