Live Animal Feeding: Lobster

Watch staff feed a Maine lobster during this short, educational program at the Arthropod Zoo. You'll get to see these fascinating creatures up close and learn about their impressive armor—their exoskeletons are reinforced with minerals that make them incredibly tough and durable. It's a quick 15-minute experience that brings these formidable crustaceans to life in an engaging way. This is a walk-up program, so no advance registration is needed—just show up and join in. It's completely free and welcomes visitors of all ages, making it a great spontaneous activity for families exploring the museum. The program takes place on the 4th floor of the Nature Exploration Center in the Arthropod Zoo, and you'll have the chance to chat with the Living Collections staff who care for these animals.
