Special Events

Unlike our public and school programs, Special Events only happen a few times a year. They are usually much larger in scale and showcase live animals and guest speakers. You don't want to miss these events. They are lots of fun for all ages. Check back often to catch our next Special Event!

10th Annual Bug Ball
September 11, 11am-3pm

This is our 10th Bug Ball – a full decade of insect fun and celebration! Activities will include an insect petting zoo, buggy crafts, and special guest, Dr. Paul Johnson, UNH insect expert. Participants will enjoy special staff presentations, featuring the “Best Of” Bug presentations from over the years. Give our six-legged friends the respect they deserve! Cost: $3 per person, $6 per family (parents and their own children under 18) No registration required

Kids had fun making bugs and other stuff at last years "Bug Ball" event.
