There are so many exciting and enjoyable things to do in Pembrokeshire but few are more bizarre and exhilarating than a visit to Dr Beynon’s Bug Farm where the whole family will be in for an educational treat as well as a fascinating look at some creepy crawlies that are both weird and wonderful.
With a Tropical Bug Zoo, Bug Museum, British Bug House, Insect Farming Exhibition, Farm Trails and a Walled Garden, there is such a lot to explore and we advise that you give yourself a whole morning to work your way around all the exhibits. As well as this, the incredibly knowledgable staff members give amazing and interesting workshops where they even allow you to get your hands on some of the tropical and rare bugs that they have at their disposal.
Last time we went my little boy laughed gleefully as a hissing cockroach was placed on his hand. It really is a wonderful way for little boys and girls to build their confidence when handling these little wonders. And the staff members are so unbelievably knowledgable when it comes to their passion. The young man who took our workshop was currently studying insects at Cardiff University.
There’s also a really fun indoor adventure playground for children and an incredible cafe where you can purchase all manner of edible bug produce. We highly recommend the spaghetti bolognaise which is made with a plethora of different creepy crawlies. Of course you can’t go wrong with a bug burger either. And hey, it’s good practice for when the global apocalypse comes and we are all living on rafts like that film wot Kevin Costner made.
