Our regularly scheduled Crazy Science, Feature Creature, and Vector Cravings programs will be paused from June 3–7, 2026 as our team prepares exciting new experiences for the summer season.
While these programs are on break, guests can still enjoy Fish Frenzy, our scavenger hunts, and monthly self-guided missions throughout the week.
When programs return, visitors can look forward to:
• New and expanded Crazy Science lessons: We’re continuing Classification Critters topic series into June while we finalize two additional educational themes for later this summer.
• Interactive Feature Creature: Experience a lesson on our live arthropods, meet them in person, and get a chance to test what you learned with a trivia challenge.
• Weekend Whodunit: Our brand-new monthly mystery activity where guests become investigators and solve a different public health entomology-themed case each month.
• Hurricane Season Tips and Information: This month marks the start of hurricane season, stay tuned to our posts on how storms can impact mosquito populations and what families can do before and after severe weather to reduce mosquito breeding around their homes.
• Vector of the Month: This month follows Culex Mosquitoes, with a special focus on West Nile virus, mosquito surveillance, prevention, and how our community can help reduce mosquito-borne disease risks.
We appreciate your patience as we continue improving programs and creating new ways for guests of all ages to learn about vectors, public health, and the important work of mosquito control.
Stay tuned for upcoming announcements and program schedules. We can’t wait to share what’s next and continue learning and protecting our community together!
