The Bug Squad is coming to Oklahoma, and kids and families are invited to climb, jump, and play their way through this animatronic insect adventure. Bug Squad is a hands-on exhibit exploring the unique “superpowered” abilities of bugs and opens on February 10 at the Sam Noble Museum.

This unique traveling exhibit can be described as a full sensory experience with active spaces for kids and families to play. Each of the Bug Squad’s heroic characters was created to represent a variety of abilities, ethnicities, and body types, each with their own unique storyline that describes their super abilities and unique traits. In addition to highlighting strengths or flying abilities, the Bug Squad members represent traits such as being accepting, investigative, team-builders, and optimistic.

Exhibit highlights include the Spider Web Escape area with a slide, the Ant Colony Climber, and an opportunity to experience (virtually) what it’s like to fly like a dragonfly in the Dragonfly Drone. Families can compare the way insects communicate through sound and light and explore how colors and lights function in nature. The exhibit is produced by the Omaha Children’s Museum and presented by the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History.
