Spider Pavilion

  • 0011_copy_large

In the run-up to full-blown Halloween frenzy, the Natural History Museum brings on the spiders. Arachnids crawl around an imitation habitat on the south lawn of the museum, where, guided by the light of a flashlight, adventurers receive an intimate experience with a variety of eight-legged wonders. Featured creatures include the appropriately named golden silk spider and the banded garden spider, whose big break came playing Charlotte in children's classic Charlotte's Web. The biggest lesson: spiders are much more fun when they're climbing up the museum's walls instead of your own. Check the NHM website for information on extra-spooky nighttime flashlight tours.
