"Interesting and well curated, only a couple of bugs are not on display. The worker let my grandchild hold a giant bug, and they were over thrilled at it! We spent the most time here. If you are a bug lover. Note that you do have to pay admission to the botanical and the aquarium to get in, but it's a nice day trip"

"This bugarium is inside of the BioPark botanical gardens. The bugs are must see, the night section especially is very interesting. The restroom mirror has a surprise so be aware (I don’t want to ruin the surprise but it has something to do with bugs)"

"Definitely worth the time to figure out where to park, etc. It was hard to find where it was, but I kept asking people and finally found it. You enter in the botanical gardens ask people and they will direct you to the bulgarium. I purchased my ticket and the ticket actually gets you in the aquarium and botanical gardens as well as the bulgarium. It was a great deal and a fun time."

"Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a nicely structured exhibit area added to the pleasure of encountering a number of unusual specimens. In addition to tarantulas and brightly-colored beetles, the large leaf eaters and walking sticks were a real attraction for us. The giant centipede certainly got our attention!"
