Are the kids’ bug-ging you for something exciting to do this half term? We’re here to help!

We are excited to confirm that our Bug Experiences are returning bigger and better than ever! As not only will guests be invited into the Bug Shed for a meet and greet with our most curious looking insects, but we’re adding in some of our larger exotic residents for a personal ‘hello!’ as well!

Our Animal Expert Chrissy will give brave explorers an educational and hands on meeting with our group of fabulous mini beasts such as the Ghost Mantis, Katydids, Stick Insects, Cockroaches and more. PLUS, you’ll meet the likes of Mishu and Sisu our Bearded Dragons and The Boss, our Bosc Monitor Lizard! We also have our latest additions, the Curly Haired Tarantula, and tailless whip scorpion – as featured in Harry Potter, and a peek out our new corn snake (who is still settling in and might be up for some handling depending on which side of the bed it wakes up that day!)
