Bug Out!
Your kids or grandkids will squeal with excitement learning which animals eat bugs, worms, and crickets-oh my! Begin your adventure by taking a tour of our America's building with one of our Education Specialists. 'Americas' houses many of the zoo's reptiles and is home to our bats! Then, you'll head to our Diet Kitchen where you'll get to learn all about making animal diets at the zoo and watch a demonstration of our zookeepers preparing a diet. Finally, end your experience at the Zoo's Education Center or Picnic Shelter where your group will learn all about some of the Zoo's insect-loving animals, including an up-close animal encounter with two different species. Plus, you'll "go buggy" for the goodie bags each member of your party will get to take home to try some insect delicacies on your own! (Includes up to 8 attendees)
