Insectarium de Montréal

Description:

• The Insectarium is the largest insect museum in North America and a great place to take the kids for a day of exploring the wonder of the creepy and crawlier aspects of a bug's life. With one of the largest collections of live and dead insects from around the world  you and your family will see Beetles that look like dazzling jewels, enormous "walking sticks" which aren't sticks at all, multicoloured  butterflies, and furry spiders. The insectarium is truly an amazing building inside and out. In fact, you won't get to see this first-hand (unless you go to the Olympic Stadium observatory) but the whole building of the Insectarium is designed to look like a giant insect. Various rooms have both live and mounted exhibits, with each room based on one unique theme in the understanding of insect life; from adaptation to various climates to insects that live in organized societies. Outside your children will be certain to enjoy themselves in the BuzzGround – an outdoor discovery play spaces for tots (inducing their Fun Zone of rides) as they walk through butterfly houses and ponds that showcase aquatic wildlife
  
  In the past the Insectarium has had many wild events. Once they even flew a group of world class chefs in who all specialize in the cooking of insects. The day long even had chocolate beetles, fried grasshoppers and other gourmet delectables. While that is not the typical special even at the Insectarium, it shows the inventiveness that they put into making education and getting to knows one's planet. The Insectarium will be a memorable day trip for you and your family.
