In 2008 the Newfoundland Insectarium celebrates its 10th anniversary. This world class attraction showcases insect groups from around the world in wall mounted and floor exhibits. A visit to the facility is a celebration of the most beautiful and fascinating group of animals on earth! The Insectarium is unique to Atlantic Canada.

 

A visit to the butterfly garden will fascinate you with hundreds of free flying tropical butterflies in a tranquil indoor setting. One is surely to land on your shoulder. The glass beehive houses over 10,000 active honeybees. Observe the bee dance or the queen laying eggs. Take in an educational video in the theater or have one of the friendly staff let you

hold a live walking stick or leaf insect.

 

Be sure to visit the one-of-a kind gift shop offering a wide range of unique nature and insect-related souvenirs that you will not find in a "typical" gift shop. You'll be sure to find something for everyone on your list! Outside, a walking trail weaves through fields and wooded areas rich in songbirds. In addition, beaver, muskrat, ducks and geese are often observed in the pond and nearby rivers.
