★★★★★Chris MerwinAt first it looked like there was not much here. But once your in the door.....very very cool insects, including a scorpion thst glowed blue and you were allowed to hold.
★★★★★Valerie ChoeWe had a small homeschooling group that visited for a field trip. I didn't catch the name of the employee, but he gave a fantastic presentation on all the bugs, even though he wasn't prepared. He was very accommodating, answered all questions, and had a love for all the creatures. The kids had a blast, and definitely learned a lot.
