Giant BUGS are invading Franklin Park Zoo! From now through September 2nd, visitors to the Franklin Park Zoo have the chance to encounter some really impressive bugs at Wicked BIG Bugs. See larger-than-life animatronic insects and arachnids including the red-tailed bumblebee, Mexican red knee tarantula, Madagascan sunset moth, meadow grasshopper, emperor scorpion, and a bunch of others during your visit.

I took two of my nephews opening weekend to experience these over-sized bugs for ourselves. We loved that we were able to walk around the area where the Wicked BIG Bugs were and stop at each one to learn a bit about each one and the part they play in healthy ecosystems.

At this exhibit you will not only learn about the orb-web spider, the kiddos will get a chance to climb a rope spider web! How cool is that? Not only that, there are these awesome interactive education stations and you will even get a chance to meet some real-life insect ambassadors up close during daily encounters, held at 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

    My daughter would be all about this. She loves her bugs. I am not as keen on them, but she touches most of them without fear.

    Fascinating! Kids will definitely love the place and as a parent, I will be happy to take them to such an intriguing and learning environment.

    This looks really interesting. I’d love to learn about these bugs but at the same time a couple of those pictures may freak me out if I saw them life sized lol

    Love the fact that it’s only $2 additional to the admission fare (when you’re not a member). Not too expensive at all and it looks like so much fun!

    Looks like a great place to visit. The fee is also cheap! This is a must-go place to visit

    The wicked big bugs sound and look really fascinating. Have seen the use of animatronics with animals like dinosaurs, but never with bugs, this is really interesting.

    I love visiting the zoo and this looks like a great place to visit. I wish there’s a zoo like this at my place

    This is so rare. At my place, there are no such places like a bugs zoo.

  20. Jennifer says

    May 28, 2019 at 8:48 am

    Oh wow! I would totally love to see this. Those bugs are fascinating.

    Now those are some massive and cool looking bugs. My grandkids would have a blast at this zoo. I need to see how far it is away from us.

  24. Heather says

    May 28, 2019 at 10:25 am

    This looks wonderful for kids. It looks like something they had at Disney Land for a while. I wonder if they still have it there.

  25. Lynndee says

    May 28, 2019 at 11:10 am

    Those would be too cool to see. Now if only Franklin is just a few miles away. I’d surely go with my boys to see those cuties.

    Wow, this is so cool! A great way to bring awareness to children about the importance of bugs in our ecosystem! I love that they included a bee!

    I thing bug lovers will enjoy this. I’m not one of them. Lol But the name Wicked Big Bugs is excellent and fitting!
