Explore a tiny world in a BIG way!
Get ready for a big adventure from a very small point of view in A Bug’s World, the new exhibit at Roger Williams Park Zoo. Opening April 11th, you’ll see the outdoors like an insect does, where ants are the size of dogs and butterflies are larger than life. Steer clear of the hungry Venus flytrap, wander through giant plants and crawl through honeycombs. Along the way, come face to face with larger-than-life caterpillars, beetles, ladybugs and more. This immersive, hands-on exhibit featuring more than 60 larger-than-life bugs, brings the busy world of backyard insects to life while showing how these tiny creatures play a big role in our environment and how we can help protect them. The zoo is open 9 am – 4 pm daily.
