PRESCOTT, AZ – August 26, 2014 – The Highlands Center for Natural History’s popular family fun night Bug-A-Boo-Bliss returns Friday, September 12 at 7:00 PM.
Starting off with a puppet show designed to introduce the younger members of the audience to the insect world, the program offers five insect investigation stations, including a Night Hike. “Insects are essential to human life and they are endlessly fascinating. This is a fun evening designed to explore and celebrate them!” said Brandi Lee Cooper, Community Education Specialist.
Begin with the Dead Bug Society, an indoor lounge where attendees will discuss, touch, and explore through a microscope what makes beetles, bees and butterflies different from each other. Move on to Inspect an Insect Tent, for those who are curious about night insects, and discover which insects are attracted to light at night. Join the Cicada Club and learn all about this beautiful, yet vocal insect. And finish up with Create Your Own Bug, a craft station where you will design and create your own insect to take home. “The Highlands Center’s hands-on and interactive programs are fun for curious children and adults alike,” added Cooper.
Admission is $2 for children under 13 and $5 for adults. Preregistration is not required. For more information, call 928-776-9550 or visit highlandscenter.org.
