Frolic with 1,600 free-flying tropical butterflies in Wings of the Tropics, hold the famous Rosie the tarantula in the Crawl-A-See-Em, dive into the wonder of the coral reefs and other ocean invertebrates in Water's Edge, and and explore the unique and diverse invertebrate habitats that exist here in Colorado.

Provided by YP.comWe've been here a dozen times and always have a great time. We love to see all of the insect exhibits, and my daughter finally had "Rosie", the resident tarantula, crawl on her arm.
