Live Animal Feeding: Lobster

Your family can watch a live lobster feeding at the Arthropod Zoo and chat with the museum's Living Collections staff. It's a quick 15-minute program where you'll learn about these fascinating creatures—their powerful claws, feisty personalities, and how they build their protective shells using minerals. This walk-up program requires no advance registration, making it easy to drop in when you're visiting the museum. The feeding happens on the fourth floor of the Nature Exploration Center and is completely free. It's a great fit for families with children of all ages, teens, and adults curious about marine life. Just show up at the scheduled time and enjoy a hands-on learning experience led by people who know these animals well.
