Tips from the community

Sometimes a fascination with nature can encompass some of the darker elements as well. This museum is perfect for indulging those curiosities. Parasites in their many forms are contained within these walls and the museum’s showpiece is the 8.8 meter (24 feet 10 inch) long tapeworm. If this intrigues you, perhaps this is the museum for you. Stop by the gift shop and bring home a souvenir or two of your own.
