I’ll admit it…I wasn’t too gung-ho about the Victoria Bug Zoo, but my kids begged and we relented. Boy, were we glad that we did. It was small(but so are bugs), but the staff were super duper knowledgable. AND, there were so many cool bugs. Bugs my kids had only read about in books or seen on websites. They were especially excited to hold so many of them. And, when you couldn’t hold one, the guide was quick to point out why so there was no complaining. Jack’s favourite thing was getting a Giant Millipede moustache. He says a close second was getting a close up look at a Giant Stag Beetle. Georgia was incredibly eager and held every single bug that was available for her to hold–and, that included a lot of bugs. Bob and I were pretty fascinated with their extremely large ant farm which was incredibly impressive. We also found a great deal of fun in trying to find the stick bugs hiding in the branches in their tank We would say that this is a must hit up spot for families with young kids visiting Victoria. It’s a nice thing to do on a hot afternoon…right before you hit the ice cream shop
