Great place to spend about 1.5 hours whilst the tour guide takes you through the various insects and spiders here. We had Ash, a very informative and entertaining guide. The place is kept at 26 degC and high humidity, so if it's cold out, wear clothes that make sense in that kind of temperature.

My son and I loved the Bug Zoo! The owners took the time with our group to tell us about all the different bugs, their habits and allowed us to hold a few of them. Great experience and an awesome place to learn about the bug world and have fun while doing it.

Loved my visit here! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and there were lots of super cool species. You can hold many (not all) of them and take pictures of your experience. I learned way more than I expected to, and walked away with a newfound respect and appreciation for these fascinating "bugs". I will definitely be going again.

My 3 year old and I loved this place! Inexpensive ($12!!) and lots of fun and educational. It's basically 2 large rooms with lots of bug terrariums. A staff member was always giving an "open tour" to people by explaining the bugs and taking them out and allowing everyone to hold them. Kiddo held a stick bug and I held various mantises and leaf bugs.
Go here! It is amazing and fun and just a really cool experience.response / report this review -

Interesting collection of different insects/bugs (over 50 species). My daughter enjoyed the guided tour. Tour can take 45 mins or longer. So make sure to make allowance for parking meter time. Staffs are friendly and knowledgeable. It's a bit warm inside for the insects/bugs. Make sure to bring some bottled water too if staying for the whole tour. Highly recommended for children and bug lovers!

Staff were friendly and the guide was definitely into bugs, he was passionate and informative and made learning about them fun. Make sure you stop at the gift shop if you want edible bugs

I go here every year with my Grade 8 class and the kids love it! The staff is friendly and they do a good job with their guided tour. The idea of looking at and even holding bugs can be scary to a lot of people but the staff do a great job of engaging the kids and making the experience fun for everyone! The displays are kept clean and well maintained. Their store is a great way to end the tour, as students are given the opportunity to buy bug toys and snacks.
If you are in Victoria and haven't been here, add it to your list of things to do!response / report this review -

This is a lovely mini zoo. After staff Ash told 1 hour plus stories for every bug stand, my son and I started to love bugs, although my daughter was very sleepy as it was her nap time. Great place to visit.

Went there for the first time, what a great place. One of your employees, Jordon, went above and beyond to make it such an exciting experience! (All of your staff were amazing) Great spot to have some fun and learn about bugs! One of the best customer service experience I have had!!!!! Thank you for giving me such a fun memory for me to hold on to

My son and I loved the bug zoo! Lots of insects packed into that small room. Tour guide was incredibly outspoken and informative, definitely latch onto a tour guide. Also got to hold some bugs including a large tarantula. Only downside is the outrageous price for adults.
