Entrance Ticket
Please check our opening times page for advance notice of early closures/all day closures as we may have a few changes to our routine opening hours.
This is an entrance ticket that is valid for a group of up to 6 people.
During the Welsh Easter, May half term and Summer school holidays, you can pre-book onto an Up-Close Meet the Bugs session online before your visit too (see below). We strongly recommend you book this session in advance of your visit if you are hoping to do it, as these sessions often book up in advance. At other times of the year, you will be offered this session on the door if we are running sessions on the day of your visit.
By purchasing this ticket, you agree to have read our ‘How to visit us‘ guidelines in advance of your visit.
How to buy your ticket and visit us:
- Select the number of adults, children, toddlers, students/seniors and season ticket holders in your group.
- Select the date of your visit. You will then be given the option of a time slot for arrival. If the date is red it means all online slots are booked for that day.
- Select your arrival time slot – please note, this time slot is just your arrival time – you are obviously able to stay for much longer than the 15 minutes! If a time slot is not showing it means that it is already booked.
- If there are more than 6 people in your group, you will need to buy a second ticket. Please make sure that there is at least 1 adult per group.
- After you have added your entrance tickets to your basket, you can choose to add on an extremely popular Up-Close Meet the Bugs session (during Welsh school holidays), where you get to meet and hold some of the bugs, by following this link.
- Purchase your ticket/s online (you will be taken to Paypal where you can either log in or checkout as a guest)
- Please arrive at your designated time slot and queue outside the Ticket Office. Please wait outside for us to buzz you into the Ticket Office. We will ask for your booking name as confirmation of your booking.
All visitors are now kindly asked to book in advance where possible. However, we can usually take walk-ins depending on how busy we are on the day.
Season tickets, gift vouchers and golden tickets
If you are the holder of a season ticket, gift voucher or golden ticket, please book the holder of the ticket under the ‘Season ticket/Voucher Holder’ option and you will not be charged. Please do not enter any code. We will ask to see your relevant ticket on arrival.
Want to eat at Grub Kitchen?
Grub Kitchen is open to Bug Farm customers as a priority on a first-come-first-served cafe basis. If there is space onsite, we are often able to take walk-ins if you just want to eat but not visit The Bug Farm too. However, we can’t take advance Grub Kitchen bookings in case there is no space onsite. Therefore, we can’t guarantee you can eat in Grub without booking to visit The Bug Farm too especially during busy periods.
Please see our ‘How to visit us‘ guidelines for all questions about your visit.
Dogs on leads are very welcome across the site except in the Topical Bug Zoo room.
We are closed on Mondays year round
