Discovery
Lab

Explore the fantastic lives of beetles, millipedes, hissing cockroaches, walking sticks, whip scorpions and more! Our presenters will introduce your group to the extraordinarily diverse world of insects and other arthropods and teach you about their key role in the web of life. Scientific observation, insect identification, and the natural history of bugs’ lives are just some of the areas we focus on.

Testimonials

 

We hired the Insect Discovery Lab for our preschoolers in Marin. So happy they drove all the way up here! They LOVED it. You've never seen a group of 3-5 year olds more riveted! Nothing like cool, extraordinary bugs to touch and hold!

– S "Suzanne" L.

What a fantastic program! The kids loved the presentation and loved being able to touch the insects. The educator was terrific. It was such a wonderful experience for the kids. I am sure they will remember it for years to come.
