Join us in the New Year as we host an arts and crafts project to keep the New Year spirit alive! Come create scratch art squares and share your New Years resolutions on our DVEC bulletin board! Whether it’s completing a passport, earning a keychain, feeding the mosquito fish, or winning at one of our trivia games (do not forget the Feature Creature program!), we cannot wait to see what you come up with!
Reminder, our activities will take a daily break from 12 PM - 2 PM!
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.
