Bug Invasion at The Cube {Giveaway!}

They’re coming to get you…at Discovery Science Center! No magnifying glass needed here; these bugs are larger than life! Transport yourself to a world where ants, praying mantises, and scorpions tower over you at 1,000 times their actual size in the new fall exhibit, Bug Invasion, now through October 31st at The Cube!

And I have a SUPER DUPER giveaway for one lucky winner who will receive 4 FREE tickets to Discovery Science Center & VIP wristbands to enjoy all the rides for free at the The Pumpkin Factory which is conveniently located across the street.  Read last paragraph on how to enter!

My daughter Emma and I  got to check out this creepy crawly exhibit where over two thousand square feet of exhibit space features giant bug animatronics, a world-class insect collection, and interactive educational stations including big robo-bugs and a 3-D maze (amongst lots of other things!)

Check the calendar for updates on special weekend events including Dr. Sue’s Traveling Insect & Arthropod Zoo, “It’s a Bug’s Life” story time, and bug demos from OC Vector Control and the So Cal Rat & Mouse Club of America.

Dr. Sue was there when we went and Emma and her friend loved the bugs! I was shocked at how fearless she was with petting the little critters!   Here the girls are inspecting Dr. Sue’s friends…

It is a great exhibit, fun and educational for all ages.  Here is a special Discovery Science Center coupon for you to use this month (through 10/31/10) to save $5 off Super tickets! Click HERE to download a bigger version.

  20. My favorite bug would have to be the butterfly. Who doesn’t like butterflies?! But my son loves spiders, yuck!

  27. Ladybugs are the best! Just ask my daughter! 🙂
    #’s 1, 2, 3, and 7 complete. (trying to not be an overachiever!)

  41. If I had to pick a favorite bug I guess it would be a beneficial one that\’s also pretty, a lady bug. But I\’m going to answer for my 5 yr old who\’s online name is Princess Entomologist. She would go for a Roley Polly or Centipede.

  47. I signed up to enter all 4-pack of general admission tickets to Discovery Science Center and 4 VIP wristbands at The Pumpkin Factory

    Thanks

  54. My kids Hate bugs… I hope we win so they can get a better understanding as to why they are so important to nature!

  61. My favorite bug? Never really thought about it before…. but it must be the LadyBug. They are the only bugs I take the time to really admire and don’t freak out when they land on me!!! 🙂

  80. I like the praying mantis I got to see four this fall very cool my daughter thinks she’s a praying mantis tamer

  82. My favorite are fireflies. I grew up in Texas and loved to catch them and put them in jars. It’s a bummer that they aren’t in California for my 3 yr old to enjoy. Thanks for the giveaway and good luck on your upcoming race!

  85. My son loves bugs right now. Infact, he just saw a Praying Mantis at a friends backyard. He was super excited! I would love to win these tickets and take our family. Wow what a tiny orange treat!

  86. the ladybug is my favorite bug too. 🙂 other than butterflies which is my daughter’s favorite.
