Heads up, summer is REALLY busy. Other than that, 10/10 experience!!! If you follow along with the tour is constant and circling around the room so you can jump in/out as you’d like you can hold certain bugs! The employees are incredibly kind and informative, and even have employee-handmade items in the gift shop! Which are beautiful btw, I bought some adorable clay slug earrings If you’re in the area, ABSOLUTELY worth a visit!!!
Bug Zoo is amazing! If you or your kids love bugs - best place to check out! They have bugs I have never seen except on TV! You can hold the bugs which is such an experience! The guide is very knowledge! All staff is very friendly and gift shop is stocked with amazing things for any age!
My daughter and I had a fantastic time at the bug zoo. It’s a bit smaller than I was expecting but there are a lot of bugs to see! My favorite part of the zoo were the people. I’ve genuinely never went to a place where every single person working there seemed like they found their calling. The workers are passionate about bugs and it shows! It was such a fun experience for my little one learn and touch some bugs!
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff! They clearly love their jobs and know what they are talking about. Not a very big location, only two small rooms, but there are quite a few bugs to see.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Very nice bug zoo showcase lots of insects and bugs which we never seen before. They have staff sometime they take out the insects and you can interact with them very nice experience. From visiting here we know how important it is to preserve the environment we living in because those bugs are performing important roles on the ecosystem. Ticket is not very expensive but what you get from it is definitely more than the value of ticket itself for sure.
My son kept asking me to go to the bug zoo, so we took the ferry from Port Angeles to visit. It's not very big couple rooms but the educators are very passionate and the kids get the chance to hold some insects. Highlight of his Victoria visitVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
What a great place to visit with or without kids. Our group - 6 adults enjoyed our experience very much. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a warm welcome and once we were ready we were taken to another room with all the creapy crawlies. At the time they had 2 lovely ladies explaining and answering any and all questions from visitors. Both ladies loved what they did as they talked with such love and passion for the animals which made me very comfortable being around spiders and other crawly critters. I would definitely recommend the Bug Zoo!
Two small rooms about exhibiting different species of bugs charging ~$50 for two adults and one kid. No offence, but a lot of the exhibition boxes were empty in construction, however it is a bit much for not so much content. The gift shop was bigger than the exhibition rooms
This site is amazing to visit. Staff members were extremely helpful and kind. This location is undoubtedly fun for kids. I had an amazing time at this exhibit and was blown away by the variety of creatures.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
My partner and I had a great time visiting the bug zoo. I was amazed by how much information our guide Grey was able to teach us in a pretty short visit. The bugs were all very cool and only a little bit scary but it was obvious how well they are taken care of by the very passionate staff members. I was very happy to get to hold some bugs, my favourite was the Thorny Devil because her feet tickled my hands. I also loved the gift shop, they had so much cool stuff in there in a wide variety of price ranges.
