Here at Butterfly Pavilion, we know that things can get pretty hectic with busy butterflies, bees and bodies buzzing around during the day. Join us for a low-sensory morning before we open to the public that meets the needs of families that need to experience the Pavilion in a different way. With natural lighting, quiet tones, and limited admission – this experience offers your little one an enjoyable, low-key experience just for them.

Each Sensory Friendly Afternoon offers guided interpretation in each exhibit, optional activity guides, and an interactive Storytime program.

The partnership between Chicano Humanities and Arts Council (CHAC) Gallery and Butterfly Pavilion is a fantastic blend of art and nature, creating a vibrant cultural and educational experience. This collaboration not only brings our community together but also honors the rich traditions of Día de los Muertos while shining a light on the Monarch butterfly, a powerful symbol of transformation and migration.

At the Monarch Magic Sip and Paint event, you’ll have the chance to celebrate the Day of the Dead by painting your own masterpiece of a Monarch butterfly. This experience is all about embracing the cycles of life and death, the beauty of nature, and the importance of remembrance and renewal, all while enjoying a relaxed and creative atmosphere.

CHAC Gallery and Butterfly Pavilion have crafted an immersive experience that highlights the deep connection between cultural heritage and environmental conservation. This partnership is set to captivate and inspire, offering a truly unique and artistic celebration for our community.

No yard? No Problem! Everyone has the potential to cultivate and relish a stunning garden, while even the smallest outdoor spaces can become havens for pollinators!!

If you've gotten your beehive through its first winter in Colorado, congratulations! You're about to have a second-year hive! With a second-year hive comes all new adventures in beekeeping, one of the most important of which is swarming. When a colony swarms, not only does a beekeeper lose their valuable, experienced queen, but other issues, such as a failure to produce a new queen or swarms moving into dangerous locations, can occur. It is in a beekeeper s best interest to learn how to artificially create a swarm by doing a split to prevent their bees from becoming a community nuisance. It is also beneficial for new beekeepers to learn about swarm behavior and how they can get themselves free bees by becoming a swarm catcher.

In this workshop, we'll learn all about swarms, including signs that a colony is going to swarm, how to prevent your hive from swarming, how to make more hives by making splits, and basic swarm catching techniques.
