Butterfly Pavilion introduces visitors to butterflies and other invertebrates in Westminster.

A tropical habitat and interpreted exhibits connect small animals with wider questions about ecology and conservation. It offers an indoor nature-focused visit with a different scale and pace from a conventional outdoor zoo.
Check current admission, opening hours, and the daily program before arriving. Animal encounters and special events have their own arrangements and should be booked where required. Follow staff instructions carefully around living exhibits, and check accessibility and sensory information if those details would help your group plan the visit.
