Encounter Zone

BugsAfter your amazing journey through the BugWorld Experience, you will have truly seen the world through a bug’s eyes, but there’s even more to come!

The Encounter Zone is one of our most exciting additions to The BugWorld Experience. Our expert guides can answer any and all bug trivia. They will dispel myths and fun facts whilst allowing you to touch your new insect pals.

This is also where you can meet our family of critically endangered Partula Snails. Our conservation work is helping to increase their numbers in captivity, and baby bugs are born almost every day here at The BugWorld Experience so you can help us welcome tiny snails and teeny stick insects when you visit!

Here you can get up close and personal with many of your new bug friends. Ever thought what a giant African millipede felt like? Or how loud a hissing cockroach actually is? Well this is the place where you can find out everything you need to know.

Are you brave enough….?
