Zoolab are back at Charnwood Museum in Granby Street Loughborough. Over the summer holidays Zoolab are bringing their ever popular array of exotic animals with them.
During the summer visitors to Charnwood Museum in Loughborough may encounter a range of unusual animals during their trip. The museum is hosting Zoolab, a group that bring environmental studies to life through hands on sessions with exotic creatures. Zoolab will be bringing a variety of interesting creatures to the museum, including some, such as rats and cockroaches, which the museum would usually try to exclude as pests!
The Creepy Crawly invasion will include Giant Millipedes and Giant Land Snails slithering in the Education Room and visitors will be able to stroke a snake or go eye to eye with a tarantula or a scorpion.
So if you ever wanted to meet a Giant Millipede or wondered how large those snails in your back garden could actually grow, come to Charnwood Museum and find out for yourself.
For once there are currently places available on some of the Zoolab workshops. This is a rarity and is not expected to last long. So if you have ever tried to book onto a Zoolab workshop and discovered all the places had already gone, then now is your chance. But be quick " once word gets out…
Zoolabs Rainforest Roadshow will be at Charnwood Museum on Monday 16 July, Friday 27 July, Monday 6 August, Wednesday 15 August & Wednesday 29 August. Zoolab workshops cost £2 per person. Places must be booked and paid for in advance. Children must be accompanied by an appropriate adult. Call Charnwood Museum on 01509 233754 to reserve your place, or visit the museum in Queens Park, Loughborough. .
