• Learn mind-buzzing facts about your favourite six-legged friends
• Explore an epic display of preserved insects and spiders from across the globe 
• Follow the insect trail and uncover creepy-crawly secrets in our new exhibition Insect Agency

Auslan interpreted and sensory friendly session

Join us at 1pm on Wednesday 2 July for an Auslan interpreted Live insect show for d/Deaf visitors. This session is also sensory friendly with dimmed lights and audio, and reduced ticket availability. Select this session when booking. 

Please note: To ensure the wellbeing of the insects, there is no guarantee that the same insect will be present on any given day.

Museum admission costs apply to accompanying adults from outside of the Toowoomba Region.
