Bug Invasion 2
When: October 1st - October 31st
Where: Discovery Science Center
Bugs and insects of all shapes and sizes are creeping their way in, on and around Discovery Science Center starting Saturday, October 1! Try not to stare at the floor though, as horned beetles, a walking stick bug, praying mantis and deadly locust will tower over you at 1,000 times their actual size. Plus, embark on a Spooky Science Scavenger Hunt and experience the Science Center like never before!
Venture through creepy rooms and eerie exhibit space while studying the giant animatronic bugs. Then, check out the bug kiosk featuring real centipedes, millipedes, Madagascar cockroaches and more, along with a world renowned pinned specimen collection from the Natural History Museum, Los Angeles.
Everyday*:
- Experience hands-on exhibits and learning stations
- Venture through a Spooky Science 4-D maze
- Embark on an interactive Bug Invasion scavenger hunt
- Decorate your own pumpkin to take home**
- Special Grasshopper Identification learning station
- Wear your costume for a kids’ costume parade
- Dr. Sue’s Traveling Insect Zoo*
Stare into the powerful jaws of a praying mantis, pet a tarantula and discover glowing scorpions with Dr. Sue. - Thor’s Reptile Stage Show*
Get up close and personal with a Yellow Monitor Lizard, feel the weight of a Boa Constrictor and touch the skin of a Rhinoceros Iguana in Thor’s Live Reptile Show.

ReplyDeleteMy oldest son says, "Spiders, because they eat mosquitoes!" (I know, a spider isn't a bug)
ReplyDeleteMy youngest son said, "Lady bugs" (Because his little sister is going to be one for halloween?)
My daughter says nothing because she's two months old and I don't know how to spell the funny noises she makes.

ReplyDeleteHi my daughter loves the honey bees when she is in the pool she tries to rescue the ones that have fallen in the pool from drowning she is aware that we are loosing our bee population fast so she has made it her child hood calling to try to preserve them and encourage her friends into not being scared of bees. She calls herself the bee whisperer she thinks its funny. I am a face book follower
ReplyDeleteMy boy loves scorpions, scarab beetles, and trap door spiders.
ReplyDeleteI think my kids still love roly polys, but I get pretty excited at my Praying Mantis sightings each October. And my kids definitely do not favor spiders!
