Event Details

Join SaveNature.Org and the San Francisco Arts Education Project for this free family-friendly event where you can get up close and hands-on with live animals from SaveNature.Org’s Insect Discovery Lab!

Bugs make up 90% of all animal species on Earth and are essential to the well-being of the planet. Yet few people have the chance to experience their incredible diversity up close. At InsectPalooza, you can do exactly that!

This immersive, hands-on event blends art, nature, and science into an afternoon of fun and discovery for insect enthusiasts of all ages. Meet fascinating creatures like the Australian Walking Stick, Hissing Cockroach, and the fan-favorite Giant African Millipede. You can also create insect-inspired art with local artists and sample our award-winning mealworm chocolate chip cookies!

This is an open-house style event. Drop in, explore at your own pace, and stay as long as you like.
