Special Event

Are you alive? You can thank a bug for that! Bugs are the rulers of the world, serving as predators, prey, food sources (even for humans), pollinators of our crops, scavengers, decomposers, and drivers of nearly all food chains.

Join us at Bug Blitz to explore and celebrate the fascinating world of insects. This come-and-go event welcomes you anytime from 4 to 10:30 pm.

Daytime activities from 4-8 p.m. include guided explorations to catch bugs, educational stations for insect identification (pondering if all bugs are insects?), and insect-themed challenges with prizes and a raffle. We'll also have bug crafts, popcorn, and lemonade!

From 8-10:30 p.m., we’ll activate our blacklight, lay out moth bait, and watch fireflies and other nocturnal insects. Enjoy bug crafts, play bug games, and take on an insect challenge for prizes and a drawing!

Don’t miss out on the Bug Blitz blowout! Buzzzz on over and join the fun! No registration required. All ages
