Adult Programs

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.

Music and sound profoundly impact our well-being and can completely transform and elevate our mood. Join IndigoAshley for an hour-long sound healing at Butterfly Pavilion. Enjoy deep relaxation in an immersion of harmonic tones from quartz crystal singing bowls, chimes, and a tongue drum that soothes the body and mind. This meditative sound healing helps dissipate stress, supports happiness and mental clarity, and activates the imagination all while connecting to the frequencies of the Earth and all of its inhabitants. You are invited to slow down, sink into your inner wisdom, and intently listen to your dreams, among the beauty of Butterfly Pavilion’s tropical paradise with hundreds of butterflies.

Embark on a meaningful journey with Butterfly Pavilion, Boulder Open Spaces, and the Denver Zoo as we unite for a special volunteer event. Join us in preserving the rich biodiversity of Colorado's landscape by removing invasive plant species like Tamerisk and Diffuse Knapweed, which threaten the vital habitats of pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and beetles. Alongside our efforts, take a moment to reflect and connect with nature as you write heartfelt letters, embedding them into seed paper to nurture and grow at home. Throughout the day, experts from the Denver Zoo and Butterfly Pavilion will provide insights into the critical role of pollinators in our ecosystems. It's a day of conservation, education, and hands-on action—join us and make a real difference.
