Sure to be a hit with younger kids, who will get a kick out of spotting live scorpions, tarantulas and other creepy-crawlies (some of which you can touch). Some 4,700 mounted insects, 150 live insects, and a gift shop round out the collection. The location is somewhat odd – note that it is inside the mall.
