The Butterfly Pavilion opened May 24th, 2008 at the Folsom Children's Zoo.
The Butterfly Pavilion is a large enclosure that you can walk into and be in the midst of the flying butterflies from around North America. If you stand still some might even come and sit on you.
This is an unusual display for a zoo. Most zoo's don't have butterflies and to be able to enter their display and stand among them is very unusual.

Update June 27, 2008
We visited the zoo and the butterfly pavillion last night. We took 7 or the 8 grandchildren and 3 of their parents to the zoo last night. We were disappointed in the butterfly pavillion because it was late in the day. Most of the butterflies were at the top. The zoo assistant explained that because the pavillion was shaded by the trees and it was getting late (about 7pm) most of the butterflies had gone to the ceiling for the night.
It also seemed that there were less butterflies in the pavillion, so it is probably a little late in the year to see many.
So if you go, go during the day and not toward evening so you get to see as many as are available.
