Bug / Gift shop is free to enter. A lot of fun toys and gifts are available for decent prices. The actual paid access has some really cool insects and bugs on display if you can stomach it. Great for kids to see, touch yes I said touch and learn about. The facilitators are energetic and enjoy sharing their knowledge. Parents - this is legit a 20 - 40 min visit though. Plan accordingly. Overall - fun atmosphere for kids to learn about bugs and insects.
Visited this hidden gem recently and was amazed by the quality engaged educators, service, and family fun this place offers! We were allowed to hold stick bugs, millipedes, horney devils, touch beetles and more. The content was age appropriate and entertaining. We witnessed a rare sight when a cockroach was seen giving live birth. Right next to another one that was freshly molted. The ant display was neatly organized along the walls. They had spiders and praying mantis. A good place to bring your children. It's a small mini zoo but they can spend time reading and learning.
An awesome place to go if you're a lover of entomology, and regardless of whether you're a little kid, or a senior citizen, or a college student, or whatever, it's very welcoming. The folks working there are really nice - the tour guide was informative and clearly cared a lot about their bugs, and the bugs themselves all seem to be doing well :
What a great place to visit with or without kids. Our group - 6 adults enjoyed our experience very much. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a warm welcome and once we were ready we were taken to another room with all the creapy crawlies. At the time they had 2 lovely ladies explaining and answering any and all questions from visitors. Both ladies loved what they did as they talked with such love and passion for the animals which made me very comfortable being around spiders and other crawly critters. I would definitely recommend the Bug Zoo!
Had an absolute blast at the bug zoo. The staff were very intelligent and friendly. Great place to bring your well behaved kids! They welcome interaction and have no problem letting their creepy crawlies climb all over you. My 5 year old had a blast. The place is a bit small..but there is ALOT to take in.
It’s for all ages. You get to see all the little friends that we never have chance to interact. The stuff was so passionate and patient, and let you pet some of the bug friends. A very fun place to visit with a cool gift shop!
Would give this place a 4 if it weren't for the tour host. She was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly letting us hold some of the insects. The insects they have are really cool and gross and are of large variety. If you're just coming and looking, it's great but could potentially get boring. It was really educational to learn a lot more through the guided tour so would definitely recommend going through it with a host. There was no wait at all and there was plenty of space for people to go through it at their own pace.
This Exhibit was an incredible experience and I cannot recommend it more to anyone visiting Victoria! Although small, there is actually a lot to see! When we arrived on a Saturday afternoon, it was quite busy but we only waited around 8 min before we went in. The educators inside are extremely enthusiastic and know a lot about bugs, and it was I think a wonderful experience. Definitely a place to visit in Victoria and was quite inexpensive!
We went with another family and our kids all enjoyed the visit. The gent that was there was very helpful in telling everyone about the different inserts and took some of them out for the visitors to hold. The lady was very kind as well. I liked the vivariums with the Dart frogs and the tree inserts were neat. All in all we were quite impressed!
Heads up, it is a really small place...however the interesting bugs and amazing staff made up for it. One of my daughter's favorite places from our trip. She loved being able to hold the bugs and get any questions answered. I highly recommend a quick trip in to see what they're about.
