Live Animal Feeding: Lobster

Watch museum staff feed a Maine lobster during this short, hands-on program at the Arthropod Zoo. You'll get to observe these fascinating crustaceans up close and learn about their remarkable biology—including how they use minerals to build their tough, protective shells. Staff members will be on hand to answer questions and share insights about these feisty creatures. This is a walk-up program, so no advance registration is needed. It's completely free and welcomes visitors of all ages. The program runs for about 15 minutes, making it a great addition to a larger museum visit. You'll find it on the 4th floor of the Nature Exploration Center. Whether your kids are curious about sea life or you simply want to see something memorable, this is a relaxed way to learn from the experts.
