From stick insects and grasshoppers to beetles, katydids and crickets, you’ll discover just how diverse and surprising these small animals can be. Feeling brave? You might also encounter cockroaches, millipedes, crabs, and even a praying mantis!
This fun and educational session is perfect for curious minds of all ages. Whether you’re a budding naturalist or just a little bit curious (or courageous!), this is a unique opportunity to see these fascinating animals in a whole new way.

Accessibility
The museum building has been designed with physical access in mind. Ramped or level access is available throughout the main gallery, and the spacing between displays allows easy navigation for wheelchairs and walking aids.
The main entrance features automatic doors.
A lift provides access to all levels of the building.
A manual wheelchair is available to borrow during your visit. Please note: this is not a self-propelled wheelchair so it does need to be pushed by another person.
Disabled parking bays are located in the adjacent Newfoundland Way car park.
Please note that the lift may not accommodate larger mobility scooters due to the constraints of our Grade II listed building. In these cases, a loan wheelchair is available. Our team and volunteers are always on hand if you need assistance.
Toilet facilities include a fully accessible ground floor toilet with adult changing table and hoist. Seating is available throughout the galleries, and additional chairs can be provided on request at the Welcome Desk.
