The Bug Zoo
Our Mission
We strive to bring a deeper appreciation for arthropods through hands-on learning.
We create opportunities with live insects, enthusiastic volunteers, and continuing involvement in the Fort Collins community.
An Enriching Agricultural Biology Experience
Our Bug Zoo and Agricultural Biology K-12 programming gives kids and adults alike the opportunity to interact and engage with arthropods. Our research demonstrates that children learning about bugs when they are are less likely to develop fears associated with insects.
We Are Open
Our zoo is home to over 30 different species of arachnids, insects, and other arthropods.
