Well the employee told me it would take 20-40 mins to go through the museum with my 9 year old and that was a total LIE. I’m now sitting here for a third hour while my son walks around living out his Wild Kratts fantasy. the key is that the employee / guides in the back are terrific. They do nonstop loops around the 2 small rooms giving facts about various displays. He’s done maybe 2-3 circuits with them now, and they take out various insects to hold. Walking around without their interpretation/ education would be quite boring indeed.

Absolutely fantastic. Lots of creepy crawlies to look at. The educators are really engaging, passionate and fun. I learnt a lot and had a great time. My husband and 11 year old asked loads of questions and said how much they enjoyed it. We even got to hold a gigantic stock bug called Gertrude!

I took my eight year old to the Bug Zoo in downtown Victoria. She loved it! Very hands on, at least for her, not me!! Our guide, Kylie was terrific. She was enthusiastic, interactive and took quite a few questions from my daughter. Kylie made my daughter’s day, especially with all the bugs she got to touch and the stories told, especially about the millipede being such a “good farter”, cracked her up!! For an adult and an eight year old, it was just over $25 to go. Definitely worth it, the Victoria Bug Zoo may not be “flashy”, but it a worthy educational experience for both child and adult!!
