Bugapalooza 2025 is buzzing into Wonder Works Children’s Museum for the general public on Thursday, May 1 and Wonder Works members are invited to get a sneak peek of all the Bugapalooza activities on Wednesday, April 30 from 5 to 7pm. Activities will include:

🪲 Bug Discovery Zone:

Dive deeper into the world of bugs at our Interactive Insect Exploration Station. Get up close and personal with preserved insects in protective casing, explore bug specimens under a microscope, and engage in hands-on activities that will ignite your curiosity about these tiny but remarkable creatures.

🎨 Bug-tastic Crafts:

Let your creativity soar with our bug-themed arts and crafts activities: a butterfly stages project, coffee filter butterflies, paper bag chrysalis, and pom pom caterpillars. Don’t forget to take your masterpieces home as a souvenir!

🔍 Bug Hunt Scavenger Hunt:

Grab your magnifying glasses and bug nets as we embark on two thrilling scavenger bug hunts: one inside the museum and a second one in our two outdoor exhibits.

🐝 Pollinator Parades:

Shake your antennae and wiggle your wings at our Bug Boogie Parade! The museum will be filled with beautiful insect costumes so that your child can buzz around the museum during one of our parades! Parades will not take place every day as our Bugapalooza visiting guest schedule will vary.

📚 Busy Bee Storytime:

Even the busiest insect explorers will want to sit down and listen during our interactive insect story times featuring books like the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle to Waiting for Wings by Lois Ehlert. Children can let their imagination take flight as we journey through whimsical stories filled with adventure, friendship, and of course, lots of bugs!

🦋 Don’t miss out on the ultimate bug-tastic adventure at Bugapalooza! Join us for two weeks of exploration, discovery, and endless fun with our six-legged friends. Get ready to bug out! 🐛
