Interesting place it's all about the bugs.

Brought my 2 grandson's ( 4 and 5) to see the insects. Their favorite part was petting the live tarantula, scorpion, hissing cockroach, and centipede.

Very cool place! Well organized scientific exhibits with lots of artistic and creative displays to engage all ages. LOTS of insect display cases and many live species as well. Live bug "show" with knowledgeable presentation and the ability to touch live specimens if you wished. Reasonable admission price and small gift shop.

24 months exactly might be a little young to enjoy but closer to 3 may enjoy.
Try the American Museum of Natural History, Insectopolis might take them, if not try the AMHH. Call their info or consult a website.
We accept walk-ins between 10am-3pm Fri-Sun during the school year! No reservations required during open hours
10$ per person. Under 2 years free
Yes. Most of the collection are dead specimens, carefully cataloged. There is a lot of live bugs and live demonstrations as well. The bees are inside but have a tunnel to the outside to come and go as they please.
They are open until 3pm
Anytime bbbut if you csll can see when shiws are. They are interesting. Our grandchildren loved thing.

You can race through in 20 minutes. If you inspect every pinned sample, read every tag, plaque, kiosk and play every game and participate in the hands-on demonstration it could take up to 4 hours. I've been there twice, once with a three year old and once with an almost seven year old. I'm a bit of an insect geek so our visits were two hours and three hours, respectively.
I think it was interesting..they have some interactive things as well. It would be a great place to earn a merit badge for sure.
