The Newfoundland Insectarium and Butterfly Pavilion was a dairy barn that was built in the 1940's and has been totally renovated and modernized as the home to this incredible tourist attraction. The Insectarium opened for visitors to see in 1998 by two men who have a special interest in insects and teaching the public of these fascinating creatures.
