Butterfly Pavilion is a stand-alone nonprofit invertebrate zoo based in Westminster, Colorado. It was the first such institution to be accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, and is recognized for its role in advancing invertebrate knowledge, education, and conservation. The organization offers hands-on exhibits and educational programs, conducts research that informs practices across zoos, and develops solutions to conserve invertebrate species and their habitats worldwide. Its activities target educators, families, and researchers seeking experiential learning and data on invertebrates and pollinators. In 2024, the Pavilion announced a partnership with the Bureau of Land Management Colorado for an invertebrate research and conservation project. These collaborations reflect its role within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector as a nonprofit focused on conservation and public education.
