Live Animal Feeding: Lobster

Your kids can watch a live feeding of a Maine lobster during this short, drop-in program at the Arthropod Zoo. You'll also have the chance to chat with the museum's Living Collections staff, who can share fascinating details about these creatures. It's a quick 15-minute experience, so it fits easily into your visit without requiring advance planning—just show up during the scheduled time. Lobsters are impressive animals with powerful claws and tough outer shells that protect them in their ocean homes. The staff can explain how crustaceans use minerals like lime to build and strengthen their exoskeletons. This program welcomes families of all ages and is completely free. No registration is needed, making it an easy, spontaneous activity to catch while you're exploring the museum.
