Live Animal Feeding: Lobster

Watch as staff members feed a live Maine lobster during this brief, hands-on program at the Arthropod Zoo. You'll get to meet the Living Collections team and learn about these fascinating creatures up close. Lobsters are known for their feisty personalities and impressive claws, and you'll discover how their tough exoskeletons—reinforced with minerals like lime—help them survive in the ocean. This is a walk-up program, so no registration is needed. The 15-minute session is free and welcomes visitors of all ages. It's a great opportunity for curious kids and families to watch animal behavior in action and chat with the knowledgeable staff who care for the creatures at the museum.
