Ideally, yes – please book your entrance ticket online before your visit if possible. We can almost always take walk-ins on the day, but can’t guarantee walk-in spaces on our busiest days (particularly a wet weather day during school holidays). Grub Kitchen does not take advance bookings, but operates on a first-come-first served basis.
Yes – we actively encourage you to bring along your well-behaved pooch. The only area that we can’t let dogs in is the Tropical Bug Zoo room – have a peak at the map to see the site layout. Dogs must stay on a lead at all times when at The Bug Farm.
Yes! The site is equally suited to adult or family visitors. In fact, most of our interpretation is aimed at adults. We have a strong focus on nature recovery, food and farming, as well as displays on biomimicry and insect farming. We also have a range of wildlife trails around various habitats. Please see the site map for more information.
Good question! Some people whizz around the site in less than an hour, while others are here all day! The average stay-time is probably 2.5 hours.
Yes – however, due to space limitations, picnics can only be eaten on the outdoor picnic benches. We thoroughly recommend you have lunch in Grub Kitchen though – you’re missing out on a treat otherwise!
No! Grub Kitchen focuses its menu on delicious, local, sustainable food. You will always find insect, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. There is a kids menu too.
No – not commercially for human food. We farm our 100 acres of land to produce food and provide habitat for native insects and other wildlife. We do showcase what insect farms look like in our live insect farming exhibition in our Museum and we carry out research on insect farming. Our onsite food sister business Bug Farm Foods collaborates with commercial insect farms in the UK to source their top quality ingredients.
