More information

The K-State Insect Zoo opened in 1999, and is housed in the old Dairy Barn on the campus of Kansas State University.

For a more in-depth discussion with trained staff, please call at least one week ahead to schedule a guided tour.

During guided tours, visitors are offered a chance to touch a variety of animals not usually offered in the petting zoo, including millipedes and walking sticks.

Due to limited space, all groups of 15 or more must call in advance to schedule their visit.

Visitor parking lot closed for painting on Tuesday 5/28/13.

 

Next available guided tour appointment is Monday June 3rd.  Book your summer programs now!

 

All spring appointments are spoken for.  Thank you to all those who scheduled their field trips with us!
