Bugs and Beasties Trail

10:00-17:00
Outdoors
Free with museum admission and Annual Pass
Find big bugs and beasties, and learn some fun bug facts, on your way to our working farm.
Follow our Bugs and Beasties Trail to see if you can spot six cardboard creatures on your way up to and around the farm.
Each animal has a fun fact to share, so keep your eyes peeled for the slug, snail, slater, spider, beetle and worm!
Download the trail before your visit, or pick up a copy at the museum.
