Visit

For over twenty years, the Insectarium has been a place to learn about the most successful group of animals in the world…insects!

Our displays have something to teach and engage individuals of all educational backgrounds. And for those who are too young to read, we are excited to share our new interactive touch screen games, beautiful artwork, and up-close critter encounters!

We are in the process of remodeling our museum, but are still open! Our new exhibits are all designed by actual entomologists, reviewed by certified teachers, custom built in house by our carpenters, and then finished by our team of artists. We take great pride in the accuracy and uniqueness of our displays. We are continuously making new creations for visitors to explore and enjoy.
