Beetle Bombardment Fun Day Held at Cook Museum of Natural Science

DECATUR, Ala. - The Cook Museum of Natural Science hosted a Beetle Bombardment Fun day on Sept. 24. Guests of all ages were given the opportunity to learn about the amazing abilities of beetles, see live beetles, play fun beetle-themed games and receive a craft project to take home.

The Cook Museum of Natural Science is a state-of-the-art natural science museum in downtown Decatur, Alabama. It provides a hands-on, immersive experience where kids can explore, interact with, and learn about nature.

The humble roots of this non-profit 501(c)(3) museum can be traced back to 1968 when John Cook, Sr. opened his professional insect collection to the public by appointment, which at the time had been used primarily for employee training at Cook’s Pest Control.
