Attractions and Days Out
This page lists entomological attractions and days out - you may like to visit attractions in your local area or refer to this list to find ideas for days out when on holiday elsewhere.
This list is not exhaustive, but we do try to keep it up to date although you should always check that the attraction you plan to attend is open on the day you want to visit it. The AES cannot be held responsible if you don't enjoy yourselves at any of these attractions!
If you know of any good insect related attractions to add to the list please contact us.
