Drop-in program, free with Insect Agency admission

A big world of tiny insects awaits this January at our Insect Zoo school holiday program – discover the six-legged critters crawling, burrowing and flying through our ecosystems.

Test your skills spotting our live insects on display and learn all about them with our insect keepers as they discuss these superheroes of our ecosystems and the vital role they play in maintaining a healthy planet.

From phasmids to katydids, native burrowing cockroaches and beyond experience a variety of creatures in all different shapes, sizes and colours.

Insect Zoo is on daily, and included with ticket purchase to Insect Agency.

For unlimited entry to Insect Agency and access to Insect Zoo, purchase a Season Pass.
