Weekend Events

These weekend events are free to attend and parking is free. Visitors may park on the weekend in lot 46 adjacent to our building. Visitors can stay as long or as little as they like. We strive to make these educational, fun, and accessible for all.

About Visiting

We understand that it is hard to visit us during the weekdays because of jobs, school and distance to get here. To make our museum more accessible we started offering special weekend hours a few times a quarter. We usually have a theme and some special activities. As always, the museum is free and open to the public. It is a good time to visit because campus parking is free on the weekend and you can park in the permit only parking lot next to our building (lot 46)!

This is a time for individuals, couples, and families to visit, but unfortunately not large groups without prior notice. Because of the limited size of our space, we ask groups to contact us in advance in case a separate time and date is a better option. Otherwise, weekends are a great time for teachers, educators, leaders, and parents to visit and talk to us about how to integrate insects and science into your programs.
