The Sam Noble Museum is excited to announce a new temporary exhibit aimed at teaching kids and families all about the super-powered world of bugs. Bug Squad features kid-friendly animatronic mascots and tons of interactive, hands-on exhibits and activities.
This unique traveling exhibit can be described as a full sensory experience with active spaces for kids and families to play. Each of the Bug Squad’s heroic characters was created to represent a variety of abilities, ethnicities and body types, each with their own unique storyline that describes their super abilities and unique traits. In addition to highlighting strengths or flying abilities, the Bug Squad members represent traits such as accepting, investigative, team-builders and optimism.
Exhibit highlights include the Spider Web Escape area with a slide, the Ant Colony Climber and an opportunity to experience (virtually) what it’s like to fly like a dragonfly in the Dragonfly Drone. Families can compare the way insects communicate by sound and light, and explore how colors and lights function in nature. The exhibit is produced by Omaha Children’s Museum and presented by the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History.
The exhibit opens February 10 and ends April 28.
