Bug Pokémon & Tiny Creatures Lab

Meet the real-life bugs behind Bug-type Pokémon, then build a living terrarium to take home.

OVERVIEW

Calling all budding Pokémon Trainers and young biologists! In this hands-on STEAM workshop, children discover the real-life creatures that inspired Bug-type Pokémon. They observe live isopods up close, explore natural habitats and learn how these tiny organisms move and survive in our ecosystem. Then they combine science with creative engineering to design and build their own living isopod terrarium to bring home. Join us for a standalone day of discovery, or as part of our 5-day Pokémon adventure series.
