On the way to Boulder...why not take a pit stop in Broomfield at The Butterfly Pavilion? This venue combines science education with hands-on fun to teach visitors about invertebrates, science and conservation. Don't forget to hold Rosie the Tarantula.

Kids will have a good time here, though it won't be a full day venture or even an all-afternoon event.
