NMAAHC Kids at NMNH: Save a Spider Day!

View Event Details

Join us Saturday, March 14th, at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History as we join our friends for a celebration of Save a Spider Day

Visit the NMAAHC Kids' station to learn how spiders inspired the creation of kente cloth and try your hand at weaving a web! 

Plus, see spider specimens and other arachnids up close, make observations at live tarantula feedings, and learn about the amazing diversity found within the different spider and arachnid species. Museum scientists will also share about the science they do to learn more about spiders and will help us debunk common spider myths.

Families can join at any time during the duration of the event and stay as long as suits each family! 

Location: This program is held in Q?rius, The Coralyn W. Whitney Science Education Center, on the Ground Floor of the National Museum of Natural History. Please enter through the Constitution Avenue entrance. Q?rius is located on the right as you enter the museum.
