Tarantula Handling Sessions - read below before purchasing
Tickets must be purchased ahead of time. Members please bring your membership card.
Due to limited space, each person attending must purchase a ticket, even if they do not want to touch the tarantula. Please try to arrive on time, the session starts at 15 min after the hour to accommodate people running late. When the session starts, the door will be locked and no refunds will be given for late arrivals. These rules are for the safety and comfort of our tarantula. Shrinky Dink Party
Learn to make fun bug trinkets that can be turned into jewelry, pins, or magnets. Draw a cool bug on a plastic sheet, heat it up, and watch it shrink into a hard, durable version of your art!
Ticket includes zoo admission, instruction, and supplies. We will be using a heat gun, scissors, super glue, wire cutters, and uv resin. This is a fun activity for children but an adult must assist with some tasks. |
Pinning Class - coming soon
26 May 5-6pm Learn the techniques of relaxing, pinning, and drying dead insect specimens. Ticket includes zoo admission, pins, forceps, styrofoam pinning block, and dead insects. There is an optional shadowbox add-on. Member discount 15%, please bring your membership card. Recommended age 10+ as pinning requires fine motor skills and uses sharp objects. Kids under age 16 must have an adult present with a ticket. If the adult does not want to pin a bug, there is still a $10 parent ticket required. |
