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

The Insect Zoo features many exhibits of live insects and their arthropod relatives in naturalistic settings.

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 can 'pet' some of the animals, including millipedes, walking sticks and tarantulas.

Due to limited space, all groups of 10 or more must call in advance to schedule their visit. Groups that do not prearrange a visit may not be guaranteed admission. Tours and group visits may be arranged by calling (785) 532-BUGS (532-2847).
