Backyard Monsters® is a unique exhibit and utilizes a number of tools and talents to provide an unparalleled educational entertaining experience.  With the use of hi-tech animatronics and interactive education stations, Backyard Monsters® can provide a one-of-a-kind experience.  Students will interact with our five giant robotic insects, six display cases of actual exotic insects and nine interactive displays.  Presented by Garner Holt Productions, Inc.

The program includes:

  • Workbooks for each student provided upon arrival (PDF copies available online for teachers’ classroom prep. See link above.)
  • Nature Detective completion certificates for each student with a discount offer to return on a public operating day
  • Hot lunch: hot dogs, potato chips, vegetarian spaghetti, fresh cut fruits and water
