What to Expect

Our handling tarantulas are slow and gentle and have experience being handled, photographed, and petted. They have never bitten anyone or shown any defensive behaviors. Learn about tarantula biology, behavior, and natural history in this one-hour tarantula handling session.

If you would like to spend more than one hour at the insectarium outside of the handling session, book the "Tarantula handling plus" ticket and arrive 30 minutes before the session starts.
