What’s the Buzz?

Miami Metrozoo is proud to present Bug Fest., an exciting two-day festival complementing the current World of Giant Insects exhibit at Dr. Wilde’s World.  This event will enchant kids of all ages with unique experiences such as insect tastings, insect cooking demonstrations, creepy crawly face painting, a flea circus, live insect displays and presentations by Wacky Wild Science Adventures, music, and much more.
