Victoria - Bug Zoo

The Victoria Bug Zoo is a two-room minizoo that is located in downtown Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, just one block north of the Fairmont Empress Hotel. The Victoria Bug Zoo operates under a limited license Agreement with International Bug Zoos Inc.

Features

The Bug Zoo exhibits about 50 species of insects, arachnids, and other Arthropods and is currently the largest tropical insect collection in North America. It even has Canada's largest ant farm that contains leaf-cutter ants. They display diverse and changing exhibits of insects and their many-legged friends, allowing people to experience animals they may never see in the wild. A main focus of the Victoria Bug Zoo is to help people overcome their fears for our smaller neighbors in a safe and fun environment.

Visitors can choose to come in and tour around for themselves or can walk around with a tour guide and learn about the insect world. Furthermore, while with a tour guide, visitors can hold and handle different varieties of species like tarantulas, cockroaches, scorpions, walking sticks, millipedes, and praying mantis.
