If you have never seen a butterfly release before, you might want to set the date for November 8 at the Butterfly Pavilion. Hundreds of Monarch butterflies will be released into the Wings of the Tropics Butterfly Conservatory on this day and will certainly be a sight to see. I recently took my wife to the Butterfly Pavilion as a surprise, which was a very memorable experience.

Tickets to the Butterfly Pavilion are $15.95 per adult for non-members and $10.95 for non-member children. When visiting the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, Colorado, remember that you can easily spend hours inside the butterfly conservatory exploring all of the species of butterflies, tropical plants, and more. Be sure to have your smartphone battery charged because you will take so many photos. More information on the Monarch Magic exhibit at the Butterfly Pavilion can be found at butterflies.org.
