Victoria Bug Zoo
Victoria Bug Zoo Review
Local kids clamor to visit this offbeat minizoo, home to the largest live tropical insect collection in North America. You can even hold many of the 70 or so varieties, which include walking sticks, scorpions, millipedes, and a pharnacia—at 22 inches, the world's longest insect. The staff members know their bug lore and are happy to dispense scientific information.
