Pioneers: Nature’s Aviators
Take Flight with Zoolab’s Animal Encounters at Fleet Air arm Museum. We’ll be meeting the likes of Spiders, Snakes and Cockroaches as we talk all about how things fly, comparing our human aircrafts to how the animals do it!
This August, join Zoolab every Tuesday for thrilling 45-minute shows at 11am, 12pm, and 1pm. Meet incredible creatures like snakes, tarantulas, giant snails, cockroaches, frogs, rats, and scorpions up close—and uncover the surprising ways animals "fly" compared to human aircraft!
Did you know some spiders "fly" using silk, or that frogs glide with webbed feet? Explore how nature inspires aviation, from aerodynamic snail shells to shark-scale coatings that make planes more efficient. Plus, discover why bats—the only flying mammals—can’t take off from the ground!
Perfect for curious minds, this interactive experience will change how you see both animals and aircraft. Free with museum admission—don’t miss it!
These shows are free with a valid museum ticket.
