Families get together to walk through City Park and the whole town is just brimming with holiday fun.
They outnumber people 1.5 million to one and comprise nearly 90% of all the animals on the planet – they are insects.

Audubon Insectarium is a multi-sensory museum that explores insects from ancient history to modern day, touts numerous live insect interactions plus exquisitely mounted specimens, an immersion theater showing witty insect caricatures, a tranquil Japanese butterfly garden and much more.
