The Critter Cabaret: Puppet Zoo

Step right into a zoo like no other—where every creature is made of strings, fabric, and imagination!

The Puppet Zoo at The Insect Asylum is exactly what it sounds like: a living menagerie of puppets brought to life before your eyes. Wander through an immersive environment filled with a wide variety of animal puppets—some hyperrealistic and life-sized, others whimsical, colorful, and full of character.

Unlike a traditional stage performance, this hands-on experience allows you to meet these creatures up close. Touch, interact, and marvel as skilled puppeteers bring each animal to life, while educators share fascinating facts about the real species they represent.

From the tiniest critters to larger-than-life beasts, the Puppet Zoo blends art, storytelling, and natural science into one unforgettable adventure. Perfect for families, kids of all ages, and anyone curious about the wild world of puppetry and the animals that inspire them.
