Queens County Farm Museum's monthly Bug Buddies class focuses on household bugs, sending kids hunting for hidden habitats and testing out what insects can actually do. It is a small, hands-on session that makes creepy-crawlies feel less scary and more fascinating. If you are already heading to the farm for the corn maze, this is a smart add-on for a bug-curious kid.

What to expect

Kids meet in the Education Building, then explore habitats and try hands-on activities about insect abilities. The session runs just over an hour.
