In 2014, Butterfly Pavilion made history as the first nonprofit, standalone invertebrate zoo in the world to earn Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) accreditation zoos_aquariums—a gold-standard achievement in the zoo world! This milestone highlights our dedication to excellence in animal care, safety, leadership, and conservation.
From protecting monarch butterflies to restoring coral reefs, AZA accreditation empowers us to lead global efforts in invertebrate research, conservation, and education.
