This one-of-a-kind seasonal pavilion gives you a rare glimpse into the secret life of spiders. Stroll through the open air pavilion to see hundreds of orb weavers and their amazing webs all around you. Then enter the spider den to peer into enclosed habitats that house different species from tarantulas to jumping spiders. Along the way you'll hear amazing stories and get answers to all your arachnid questions from our Museum Educators.
ALONG THE WAY YOU'LL:
- See a variety of spectacular spiders and webs—including those of the garden spider, which can range up to almost ten feet in diameter. View our 2024 Spider Pavilion Guide in English or Spanish.
- Talk to educators about the natural pest control that spiders provide.
- Peer through the glass into enclosed habitats that are home to tarantulas, wolf spiders, and Huntsman spiders.
Members receive free admission.
