They’re creepy. They’re crawly. And kids and families just can’t get enough.
Grand Prairie’s annual Bug Fest will bring the fascinating world of insects to life on later this month with “a hands-on, high-energy experience perfect for all ages,” the city said.
The event will take place April 25 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Lynn Creek Park, with guests invited to explore interactive exhibits, meet insect experts, and get up close with creatures that are “equal parts creepy and captivating.”
Expect the unexpected
From educational displays and live demonstrations to themed activities and vendors, Bug Fest “blends outdoor adventure with discovery,” the city said, making it an ideal story for families, nature lovers, and “anyone looking for something unexpected to do.”
Set along the scenic waterfront at Lynn Creek Park, Bug Fest also offers a great visual backdrop for live segments, the city said—with opportunities to showcase hands-on learning, kid-friendly fun, and the natural beauty of Grand Prairie.
