Animal Ark Wildlife Sanctuary invites guests of all ages to crawl, climb, and explore the fascinating world of insects and arachnids during Invertebrate Day, taking place Saturday, June 20 from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM. This special event offers hands-on learning and nature-based fun centered around some of Nevada’s most underrated creatures.

Guests will enjoy a variety of family-friendly activities throughout the park, including:
🪲 Field Guide Adventure – Pick up a custom field guide and explore the sanctuary while searching for insect clues and fun facts about Nevada’s native invertebrates. Complete your guide and return it for a prize!
🦂 Meet the Inverts – Get up close with Animal Ark’s invertebrate ambassadors: giant African millipedes and our desert tarantula.
🎨 Craft Station – Kids can design their own camouflaged butterflies using special backdrops and cut-outs.
🔍 Bug Identification Station – View a real pinned insect collection and use online tools to identify species like a true entomologist.
🕸️ Web Weaving Game – Toss laminated bugs into a giant yarn spiderweb and score points!
🐜 Insect Obstacle Course – Race through buggy-themed challenges while learning how different insects move.
