  • Home to many rare and exotic arthropods from all over the world, the Insectarium and Butterfly Pavilion is an experience unlike any other in Greater Philadelphia.

    Our interactive exhibits, hands-on learning, and high-tech displays offer a fascinating look into the world of insects. Our exhibits offer learning opportunities for visitors of all ages.

    Earlier this year, we debuted a 7,000 sq. foot butterfly pavilion. The pavilion, a permanent ecosphere featuring hundreds of live tropical and native butterflies, is one of the largest of its kind in North America.

    In addition to offering regular programming for children such as our Junior Entomology Program, we also host after hours events geared towards adults.
