Backyard Monsters

Larger-Than-Life Bugs Invade Houston!

Learn what it’s like to be a bug when larger-than-life animatronics take over The Health Museum at Backyard Monsters: The World of Insects, on display January 23 - May 9.  Take a tour through this exhibit where the giant, animatronic bugs make the chirping, clicking noises bugs make. Plus, check out hundreds of insect specimens and education stations where you can drive a robotic bug and learn to eat like a bug too!
 
Backyard Monsters was created by Garner Holt Productions, Inc.
