I don't like bugs or generally anything involving bugs. However, after my trip to the insectarium I look at them differently. The ride/movie inside the museum was great. It was really well done and I can see what it is an award-winning experience that rates up there with other attractions at Disney or Sea World. My favorite part of the... more

Arrived before lunch on a weekday after the local schools started, and crowd was small. Some of the exhibits seem to be in the development stage. However, the displays of butterflies and beetles would each be worth the price of admission. There is also an extensive display of dung beetles the really impressed my 6 year old son. There is... more

My sister and I took a day trip to New Orleans with 2 seven yr old kids - our main destination was the Insectarium. Truth be told, it should have been our ONLY destiniation. It was a Saturday, so it was a bit crowded - not as crowded as the Aquarium of the Americas was! By the time we got... more

Vast collection and creepy-crawlies and some things you could touch - if you wanted to. Lots of stuff for the kids to enjoy - and the adults. Oh, there... more

We visited the Insectarium at Easter and were absolutely delighted! It is a fun, clean and educational place -- the dung beetles were fun, the theater was an absolute delight and the butterfly house was beautiful! The staff is very friendly and accommodating and take time to explain all the bugs to you! We even ate the grasshopper chutney in... more

Okay, I never actually got INSIDE the Insectarium, I only made it to the entrance where a large sign warning "No Weapons allowed" was displayed. It went on to explain that no knives, screwdrivers, fingernail clippers, or any other sharp object was allowed inside. I showed the man my little Swiss Army Knife and he just shook his head and... more

There is a nice collection is interesting "bugs" to learn about and observe. Most exhibits are a kid-friendly height which is great for the little ones. An hour should get you through, including the food/gift shops. There are lots of ticket options. I paid $15 for an adult ticket which I thought was a bit on the pricey side for... more
