Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the booking process work?
A: It all starts with a conversation about what program you’d like and when you’d like it. Once we can confirm details, you’ll receive an invoice and be officially booked in our calendars.
Q: Are these shows or activities?
A: It depends on the event! Insect Safaris and Hide-A-Bug are open, guided activities, while the Arthropod Petting Zoo and Spooky Bones and Creepy Crawlies are "Show-And-Tell-And-Touch".
Q: How many kids can attend a program?
A: Because our goal is always close, hands-on shows and programs, the maximum group size is 25 kids, with options for groups of 50.
Q: Can you do large assemblies?
A: Our programs are specially designed to inspire curious young scientists with up-close and hands-on learning. As such, we don't do assembly-style programs.
Q: Do adults count towards audience limits?
A: Nope! They’re well-behaved enough!
Q: Do you charge travel fees?
A: Yes, which are subject to change depending on the distance from our home base in Shirley, MA.
Q: How far in advance do you need for booking?
A: 3-4 weeks minimum is preferred.
Q: How far ahead can I book?
A: We don't set a limit to booking ahead. Looking for something next year? Feel free to reach out!
Q: Can you do our whole 1st/2nd/3rd/4th grade?
A: Absolutely! Our programs work great as in-school field trips or enrichment events for elementary schools, and can easily move from classroom to classroom, or be run from a single spot in your school while classrooms switch out. We'll even tweak our material to better fit your units and content!
