We offer engaging hands-on activities at our Disease Vector Education Center, and we would love for you to join us. Best of all, there is no cost to participate!
Children can play at our insect-themed outdoor playground highlighting ways to reduce the mosquito population around your home. The education center features games, live insects, real microscopes, and models to climb on. Everyone can play with the interactive displays, see examples of real insects, and fly a simulation spray mission in a helicopter.
Learn about mosquito habitats, diseases, life cycles, diseases that are spread by other insects and arthropods, where diseases started, and how to trap and kill mosquitoes in a fun environment. Watch bees at work from inside the education center through a glass hive. Examine other insect specimens from displays. Read about the history of mosquito control.
Relax and watch documentaries about mosquitoes, other disease vectors, and different insects in general in the education centers movie theater. Enjoy the scenery of the outdoor garden area with a pond, lush native plants, plants that mosquitoes love, and a bat house. Have lunch in the plaza on the benches and picnic tables near the giant mosquito statue.
