Spiders – From Fear to Fascination

Come eye-to-eye with over 250 real and preserved spider specimens in Spiders — From Fear to Fascination. Explore interactive elements, live and preserved spiders, dioramas, digital displays, and more as you crawl through the fascinating world of these often misunderstood arachnids.

Guests will learn about spider anatomy, reproduction and growth, webs and silk, spider senses, and much more. Using the latest in augmented reality technology to create a fully immersive experience, guests will see what it’s like to walk through hundreds of scattering spiders along a glowing forest floor, compete in a mating dance-off with a jumping peacock spider, and more. Live spiders are also displayed throughout the exhibition, allowing audiences to see spiders that they may not encounter in day-to-day life up close, including the infamously venomous Black Widow.
