Took the tram car down to the end of the boardwalk only to find the Insectarium gone. The hissing cockroach has passed on. Nothing to see here.

We just happened to find the Wildwood Insectarium while walking on the boardwalk. The kids wanted to go in and check it out, so we thought since it was something different to do, why not. I believe our tour guides name was Phillip. He was wonderful. He knew so much about each of the exhibits and was able to answer... More

Went with my daughter's family on a rainy day. My 10 year old grandson loved this place! And I think the adults learned a thing or two as well. The young man who led us through the exhibits was very knowledgeable. Would go back again!

My husband and daughter went in because it cost too much for the entire family, but they really enjoyed it and thought that their docent really knew his business.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, a biology major, she explained in detail about every species and answer all of the questions that we asked. My children handle some of the spiders, lizards,...

Our boys, ages 10 and 6, loved this place. Our tour guy was great answering the many questions that the kids asked. The kids loved being able to touch the bugs. The boys' favorite bug was the blue beetle that "played dead when touched". I would go back again.

It is what it is, a live bug museum, but the kids LOVE IT Tours are guided with a lot of information on the bugs

I liked the Boardwalk and the Water Park on the Boardwalk as well as diamond beach with dolphins swimming nearby
