About this Event

Experience a truly unique day at the Insect Asylum's Community Day! This special day offers discounted admission, granting you access to a wide array of captivating attractions. Step into our showroom, where over 2,500 astonishing insect specimens await your exploration. Marvel at an eclectic menagerie of taxidermy creations, encounter live animals like Opal the baby Opossum, Toshi the Tegu, and our Mourning Dove family, and immerse yourself in our live animal exhibit, housing hundreds of captivating live animals.

Feel free to capture memories with photographs, interact with our sensory-friendly materials, and savor the immersive atmosphere that surrounds you throughout the entire day. Plus, your general admission ticket grants you all-day access, allowing you to come and go at your leisure. Join us for an unforgettable experience at the Insect Asylum's Community Day!

Accessibility Note: Our upper-level animal exhibit and lower level classroom spaces are currently not wheelchair accessible. However, we’d love to accommodate on the first level. Please don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected] with any accessibility needs before your visit—we’re happy to help!

Additional Note: Families are welcome! Children under 14 should be accompanied by an adult. If you or your child would like to simply watch the class without participating, we’d love to have you. You can easily grab guardian/observer tickets at the front desk or online through our ticket portal.

All sales are final, but we’re happy to exchange your tickets for a different ticketed experience. Thank you for your understanding and support!
