Live Animal Feeding: Lobster

Watch as staff members feed a Maine lobster during this brief, hands-on program at the Arthropod Zoo. You'll get to meet the Living Collections team and learn about these fascinating creatures up close. Lobsters are impressive animals with a tough outer shell reinforced by minerals like lime, which helps protect them in their natural environment. Their fierce and feisty nature makes them compelling to observe in action. This is a walk-up program, so no advance registration is needed—just show up and join in. The 15-minute session is suitable for all ages and completely free. It's a great way to spend a few minutes learning about marine life with your family while exploring the museum.
