Royal Entomological Society Insect Garden

Olympic Park & Mill Meads

About

Dedicated insect garden in Olympic Park with beetles, butterflies, bees, and bugs in naturalistic habitats. If your child is interested in insects at all, this is gold. Displays change seasonally, reflecting what's actually active outdoors. Lesser-known than main Olympic venues, so quieter. Free entry. Excellent for children aged 5–12 who'll slow down to observe; younger children may not sustain focus.
