Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a nicely structured exhibit area added to the pleasure of encountering a number of unusual specimens. In addition to tarantulas and brightly-colored beetles, the large leaf eaters and walking sticks were a real attraction for us. The giant centipede certainly got our attention!

As long as you dont have bug phobias, this is a great place. The leaf cutter and, the giant cockroaches, the many stick insects--this was much better than I expected.

My sons (13 & 11) and I thought this place was so cool! So many different bugs. I especially enjoyed the way they set up the leaf cutter ant habitat, so the ants can walk across a vine with their leaf pieces right over visitors heads!

If bugs, spiders and creepy-crawlies freak you out, then stay away! Otherwise, the Bugarium is a neat place to visit at the Botanical Gardens. There are wood-cutter ants, spiders the size of your hands, and lots of other insects and bugs to see. A cool exhibit to watch is the naked mole rat colony near the exit. Not for the squeamish!
