Designed for kids aged 5 to 12, create a one-of-a-kind bug diorama while immersed within a sensory-rich, collaborative environment inspired by the intricate world of Victorian bugs.

In a bug adventure like no other, kids can unleash their creativity to design and build a bug habitat with tiny tunnels, leafy hideouts and bustling bug communities. With fun, engaging activities, imaginations run wild to bring these mini critters to life.

Get up close and watch these incredible little creatures in action with real bugs on display. Grown-ups can join the fun or kick back and enjoy the buzz.
