Meet an impressive collection of Mega Bugs, including giant cockroaches, millipedes, Vinegaroons and Stick insects.

Meet the infamous Peanut the Pygmy Hedgehog!

The displays are educational, fun and packed full of weird, wonderful and cute animals, that children wouldn't usually get a chance to meet including snails, scorpions, beetle larvae, tarantulas and lots more.

The displays allow children to become involved and close up to a variety of animals either by touching, holding or just by looking.
