  An up-close look at the world of invertebrates, including insects and arachnids. This session focuses on observation, education, and guided one-on-one interactions when appropriate. Animal selection is adjusted based on the age and comfort level of the group.

Due to the sensitive nature of many invertebrates, handling opportunities may be limited and are always carefully supervised.

Participation VS Observation

Our programs are designed for all ages and can be adapted for children, teens, and adults.

For children’s parties, supervising adults do not count toward participant limits and are welcome to observe. Limited interaction may be available as time allows.

For teen and adult-focused events, all participants may be included in the program experience.

Each session is guided to ensure a safe and positive experience for both guests and animals. Interaction time is managed carefully, and not all participants may handle every animal depending on group size, timing, and animal needs. Final animal lineup and handling opportunities may vary based on animal health, behavior, and event conditions.
