The Bug Parc

About

The Bug Parc is the UK's largest all‑invertebrate zoo, nestled in the serene woodland of Lenwade, Norfolk. Visitors are welcome to wander through three expansive tropical houses—Kirby, Hinton, and Comstock—each showcasing 200+ live minibeasts ranging from grinning grasshoppers to glittering tarantulas. The Butterfly Tropical House, a glass‑covered canopy teeming with over 30 species, offers a tranquil, shady stroll for all ages. The park’s highlight is the interactive Bug Handling Experience, where guests can touch and hold harmless creatures such as stick insects, millipedes, and stick insect species across the arc. A playful children’s play area with a giant jumping pillow, covered sandpit, and covered outdoor activities keeps families entertained while adult visitors enjoy friendly talks with knowledgeable staff. The on‑site Chrysalis Café serves light fare and a selection of drinks, with an 10% discount for season ticket holders. A well‑stocked gift shop offers insect‑themed souvenirs, and free parking ensures hassle‑free travel. Open from 10 am to 4 pm Wed–Sun, the park welcomes both school groups and casual tourists looking for a unique, educational adventure. Season tickets, available for £49, grant unlimited entry for a full year—no booking required—though pre‑booking is recommended during school holidays and peak weekends. Children under three and carers can join for free, while discounted rates apply for seniors, students, and disabled visitors. With its wide array of attractions, friendly staff, and dedication to conservation, The Bug Parc is a must‑visit for families, nature enthusiasts, and curious minds seeking an off‑beat, immersive wildlife experience.
