Curious Creatures is a family learning experience hosted by the Missoula Butterfly House and Insectarium specifically designed to foster curiosity about the world of arthropods. Family groups of up to six will work together in teams to complete a fun and creative challenge to explore the day’s theme. In addition to completing the activity challenge, families will be able to hold our Bug Ambassadors and ask plenty of questions.
Ever wonder just how strong beetles are? During this experiment, each team will work with a live bess beetle to test its strength and learn more about these little animals’ impressive pulling power. We’ll learn about good experiment design and ethical treatment of living animals in experiments and chart our results. We’ll even do some friendly math to see how strong we are compared to our beetle teammates!
Cost: $30 per team for members, $50 per team for non-members. The cost of this program is PER TEAM of up to 6 people.
Group Size: Curious Creatures groups are limited to 6 people per team. If your group has more than 6 members, please register for two groups.
