Butterfly Pavilion - 713010

The Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster is an invertebrate zoo where you can explore a lush, tropical greenhouse filled with vibrant flora, fauna, and free-flying butterflies. Your visit begins with an engaging lecture by Professor Bile, who dives into how horror films and monster movies draw inspiration from real mind-controlling parasites. Guided by the Pavilion’s on-staff “alchemist,” you’ll discover the fascinating - and often misunderstood - strategies these organisms use to survive, along with why they evoke such strong reactions in our culture. No meal.
