Insectropolis, Insectarium and museum in Toms River, United States.
Insectropolis is an insectarium and museum in Toms River that displays thousands of preserved insects in cases. The facility also features a walk-through glass beehive model and several terrariums holding live insects maintained under specific environmental conditions.
The museum began as a project by a pest control company seeking to change how people understand insects. It grew into an educational center offering hands-on learning and scientific displays about insect life.
The exhibits show how people around the world view and interact with insects in their daily lives. You can see examples of insect use in food, art, and local traditions from different regions.
The layout is straightforward and easy to navigate through all the exhibits without getting lost. Wear appropriate clothing since some areas are cooler, especially near the terrariums and live insect displays.
Visitors can crawl through a tunnel system designed to show how termites construct underground galleries. This hands-on experience gives children a sense of what it feels like to navigate the world from an insect's perspective.
