Tarantula Handling - read below before purchasing
More info
Our handling tarantulas are slow and gentle and have experience being handled, photographed, and petted. They have never bitten anyone or shown any defensive behaviors. Learn about tarantula biology, behavior, and natural history in this one-hour tarantula handling session. If you would like to spend more than one hour at the insectarium outside of the handling session, book the "Tarantula handling plus" ticket and arrive 30 minutes before the session starts. The Insect Safari
05 June 12-6pm
More Info
Meet and talk with entomologist Don Ehlen about his amazing collection of pinned insects! Due to the size of the collection, we do not have space for our regular activity area and touchable bugs so these will not be available. 
Mantis Terrarium Workshop
14 June 5-7pm
More Info
The giant Asian mantis is a very large species, especially females, so you will need at least two terrariums during the life of your mantis. The baby will be too small for a terrarium that can fit an adult. Basic Nymph Package - $60: mantis nymph, 5"x7" molded plastic terrarium, fake flowers, substrate, mister, and feeders. You will need to find a larger terrarium when your mantis gets too big (2-3 months). Deluxe Nymph Package - $75: mantis nymph, 5"x7" acrylic terrarium, fake flowers and two decor items (more can be purchased separately), substrate, mister, and feeders. You will need to find a larger terrarium when your mantis gets too big (2-3 months). Super Deluxe Full Mantis Package - $85: mantis nymph, 32 oz deli cup for nymph, 5"x10" acrylic terrarium for when nymph is large enough (to build at the workshop), fake flowers, three decor items (more can be purchased separately), substrate, mister, and feeders. Net cage add on - $9: another option for when your mantis gets too large is a pop-up net cage.
