Our Bug and Exotic Animals experiences return in December, and we invite you for a meet and greet with our most curious looking insects, along with some of our larger exotic residents too.

Our Animal Expert Chrissy will give brave explorers (not just for kids, adults welcome!) an educational and hands on meeting with our group of fabulous mini beasts such as the Darkling Beetles, Katydids, Giant & Sunny Stick Insects, Giant Snails, Cockroaches, Praying Mantis and more. PLUS, you’ll meet our Leopard Geckos, and the likes of Mishu and Sisu our Bearded Dragons, and The Boss, our Bosc Monitor Lizard! We also have our Curly Haired Tarantula, and giant vinegaroon and more reptiles.

We appreciate the age limit can be frustrating, but we must manage these experiences in the best way for both our attendees, and our animals.
