Philadelphia's only all-bug museum!
Welcome to the Insectarium! Philadelphia's only all-bug museum, and the largest insect museum in the nation! We have thousands of live and mounted insects, tons of interactive displays, a movie-room, fun stuff for kids, and a whole lot more!
Since 1992 the Insectarium have been educating adults and children alike, right here in Northeast Philadelphia, about the fascinating world of arthropods. Hundreds of thousands of kids have toured our three floors of museum space, seen countless creepy-crawlies, played in our man-made spider web, and had a great time while learning all about insects in a way that is fun and exciting to their active minds.
It's an insect's world
Scientists estimate that for every one person on earth, there are at least 200 million insects crawling around! And as we explore deeper into the oceans and rainforests of our planet, we continue to find new and stranger species of arthropods everywhere we look. The Insectarium is the only museum in America solely devoted to the curation, study, and display of these fascinating creatures.
