This very tiny, seasonal attraction will soon be history because in spring of 2017 the zoo is opening an Education Center that will include an Insect Zoo. Additional information is located on this link:

Do you know where in the zoo this facility is being built? Will it be on the footprint of the old insect zoo here next to the penguins?

The Conservation Education Center will be located opposite the tigers and adjacent to the train station. Here is the latest map to make it easier to visualize where the center will be built:

The zoo just broke ground on the Education Center a couple of days ago and there is more information on the link below. It will be the 5th of 8 major projects that have all been funded by the 2008 bond, with Elephant Lands (opening in November) being the 4th project.
