Holly was great with the kids explaining fun facts about the bugs, and she left the kids hold some of them. The zoo is awesome for kids and adults, a little small but great species variety, everything super clean and well organized. We like it a lot!

This was a great stop with our three toddlers! We were lucky to hold a scorpion and a tarantula. We learned a lot about spiders, stick insects, and other insects with help of our guides. Would definitely recommend!
The Victoria Bug Zoo is a mini zoo located in the heart of downtown Victoria. We specialize in live tropical insects and arachnids. Don't worry if bugs are not your thing, our wonderful tour guides are very adept at coaching the nervous into thinking about these amazing animals in a whole new light. We have tour guides available in the zoo all day long, they go around showing off our spectacular animals and letting the more adventurous hold them in a safe fun environment. Plan for at least an hour in the zoo if you want to get the most out of your experience.
We also take bookings for birthday parties, school groups and we even have an outreach program to bring the animals to your event or your school.
