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. ❞
