Spiders Pop-Up Tour
Join us for a quick walk through the Costa Rican Rainforest. We'll learn about arthropods, spiders, and the making of this famous exhibit.
O, What a Tangled Web!
At 50 times stronger than steel, spider webs are the most high-performance natural material known, and have long been a source of mystery and fascination. In this activity, visitors go bioprospecting for spider web biomimetics, attempt to weave a web as strong and flexible as a spider’s, and try their luck with the Official MPM Spider Web Matching Challenge.
