Live Animal Feeding: Lobster

Watch a live feeding demonstration featuring a Maine lobster at the Arthropod Zoo! You'll get to see this impressive crustacean in action and learn fascinating facts about how these animals survive. Museum staff will be on hand to answer questions and share insights about the lobster's powerful claws and tough exoskeleton—which is reinforced with minerals like lime to keep it strong and protective. This is a casual walk-up program, so no advance registration is needed. The 15-minute session is designed for all ages, making it a great option for families with younger children who might find a quick, focused activity more enjoyable than a longer program. Best of all, it's completely free. The program runs on Tuesdays and Saturdays, so you can fit it into your schedule whenever it works best for your family.
