This attraction is home to some of the world's coolest bugs, like hairy tarantulas, Peruvian blue centipedes, Malaysian jungle nymphs, walking sticks, millipedes, white-eyed assassin bugs and mantids. Join a tour and let the knowledgeable staff introduce you to the world of arachnids and insects. After the tour, buzz around the gift shop for edible insect munchies, bottled honey, toys, models and books. Admission: USD8 for adults, USD7 for students, USD6 for seniors, USD5 for children aged between 3-16, and free for children 2 and below. Vancouver Island is a 90-minute ferry ride from Vancouver.
