I was so excited to go to the Insectarium. I mean who wouldn't at least be curious about a museum of bugs?
Once inside I was surprised at how small the Insectarium was. It's a good thing bugs are so small so that they still have a pretty sizable collection, but it still felt a little disappointing. There's not that many living insects on display. There's something that makes rows of dead bugs pretty easy to just breeze by where terrariums of living specimens doing little buggy things actually command your attention and time a little bit more.
The museum is very kid-oriented. There's not a lot of information about the specimens except for their names and their area of origin. The interactivity level is quite low, but the under 10 set seems to really enjoy the collections.
Unless you're going with kids who love insects you're safe to skip it. There's nothing spectacular or unique in this rather small collection. Overall, I was pretty disappointed. This place has a lot of potential but they really need to make some changes.
