BUG DAY (a.k.a. Bug Blast) (with museum entry fee)

Bug Blast is included with museum admission.

• FREE to Burke members, children ages 4 and under, UW staff/faculty/students with UW ID, and Scarabs who help out with the event!.

Bug out as thousands of specimens, dead and alive, fly, buzz, or crawl to the Burke Museum for this favorite annual family event. Get eye-to-eye with giant water bugs, examine bugs of all kinds from the Burke’s collections, try some buggy snacks, and more!

This year we hope to have two headline performers: Local garden guru Ciscoe Morris (a long-time Scarabs member) and Nancy Stewart, a singer of buggy songs for kids!

You can also do bug crafts, look through compound-eye glasses, see tiny insects through a microscope, watch a real entomologist at work, get tips on how to draw insects, and much more!

This event is presented in partnership with SCARABS: The Bug Society.
