Toms River, New Jersey - Insectropolis - Tarantulas, Cockroaches

My husband and I spent 2 1/2 hours at this wonderful museum. It has fantastic displays of insects from around the world. The butterfly displays are beautiful. They also have some live insects, many of which are brought out for school tours. We're in our 60's, but sort of "crashed" a school tour and got to hold a large tarantula and a hissing cockroach. There are usually several school tours each day. [Carol Gannon, 01/21/2008]

Don't know much, but from a mailbox-stuffing flyer it appears to be a new insect museum affiliated with a pest control business. "Insectropolis is an insect learning center featuring educational touch screen computer games, hands-on exhibits, hundreds of live insects and other arthropods, thousands of beautiful and bizarre dried insect specimens, a bug store and much more."
