Limited-Time Exhibition – Exclusively at Butterfly Pavilion

Just in time for Halloween, spiders are arriving from around the globe this October for a limited-time engagement, Spiders Around the World, exclusively at Butterfly Pavilion. Engage with stunning, vibrant, and awe-inspiring tarantulas and walk amongst visually striking, exquisite, and free-roaming Orb Weavers spinning their intricate webs in Spider Zone!

This year’s Halloween-inspired spider collection showcases more than 20 different tarantula species from across the globe like the Amazon Blue Bloom Tarantula, the Six-Eyed Sand Spider, a King Baboon Tarantula, and more to encourage guests to view invertebrates with curiosity and wonder, not fear.

Butterfly Pavilion also invites guests to engage with some new friends in Spider Zone, an exotic enclosure filled with hundreds of free-roaming orb-weaving spiders. At 80-feet it takes over a quarter of the Wings of the Tropics ’s butterfly conservatory.  Inhabited with weavers, including Malaysian species as big as a human hand, guests walk amongst spiders with no separation, and get up-close with them and their intricate webs. Discover their brilliance and significance during this special exhibition celebrating spiders and the incredible impact they make in our world.
