Bugtopia
Oct 02, 2026
Daily through Oct 31, 2026
From: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Giant animatronic insects bring a comic-book-style adventure to Zoo Miami with larger-than-life displays, photo stations and hands-on learning activities. Bugtopia runs June 27 through October 31 and is included with zoo admission.
The limited-time walk-through experience features 13 oversized animatronic “superhero” bugs and two themed photo-op stations placed from the zoo entrance through the Conservation Action Center. Each insect display is paired with colorful comic-style panels highlighting insect facts, sound effects and ecological themes for children and adults.
Opening weekend programming takes place Saturday, June 27, and Sunday, June 28, with family-friendly activities including:
- Live kid-friendly DJ entertainment
- Insect investigation stations
- Super Scents Lab and Spider-Sense activities
- Microscopic insect explorer stations for junior entomologists
- Bug-themed tastings from bartaco, Tacos & Tattoos and Salt & Straw on Saturday, June 27
- Junior entomologist certificate activities
While supplies last, the first 250 guests through the zoo turnstiles each day during opening weekend will receive zoo sunglasses and a voucher for a free kids meal from a local Flanigan’s.
