Bring the swarm out and get acquainted with the many and varied
“Bugs of the World”!
Themed activities include games, crafts, live animal exhibits, demonstrations, storytelling, and family fun that will focus on bugs the world over. Let’s learn to respect the bug for all of its diversity and adaptability.
The Nature Center is turned into a showcase of bug displays, providing opportunities to experience the thrill of seeing and learning about live arthropods, including large exotic tarantulas, walking sticks, praying mantis, scorpions, and more. Cases of beautiful mounted butterflies and other displays of insects are available for viewing courtesy of Bugs Unlimited.
Kids can earn a ‘Bugology’ degree and certificate by participating in at least five of the many ‘buggy’ activities. Activities include games, crafts and activities like the Bombardier Beetle Blast, and insect themed obstacle courses. Find out what other animals eat bugs. Enjoy the songs and buggy tales of a storyteller. Remember to bring a camera to capture all the creepy-crawly fun.
Ride on miniature trains provided by the Lake Shore Live Steamers 1 to 3 pm, weather permitting.
