Spider Safari

Join us for a hands-on arachnid adventure at Kubota Garden! Kids ages 712 will explore the spiders of Kubota Garden with insect ecologist Chloé Markovits. Catch, observe, draw, and release real spiders in the wild!

Insect ecologist Chloé Markovits will start by explaining how to use insect vials then guide the group to 2-3 spots in the garden to catch, observe, and release spiders. Attendees will show-and-tell what they saw.

Chloé and the volunteers can help younger children catch spiders. At the end, Chloé will recap what spiders were seen that day and how attendees can support them in the future. Every safari is unique based on the age of the attendees and the spiders seen that day.

An adult will need to accompany participants at check-in to sign consent forms. The adult is also welcome to join the class and do not need to reserve an additional spot for themself.

The event is free thanks to funding from 4Culture and KGF donors. To help us keep our events free, go to the donate page of our website: www.kubotagarden.org/donate.
