Bug Bazaar

Does anyone remember Sci-Port’s Bug Bazaar? Never heard of it? No worries—we’re bringing it back this year on April 11, 2026! This was such a treasured event, and we’re thrilled to bring it back. Why April 11th, you ask? Easy answer—our last one was April 11, 2016, exactly 10 years later. How special is that?

Get ready to crawl, slither, and wiggle your way into hands-on fun! Experience a ladybug release, print making, fossil digging, and so much more.

We’re beyond excited to have Coyote Peterson joining us—what better way to celebrate all our critters than with the man who seeks them out to test his limits? If you’re not familiar with him, check out this video from his show Brave Wilderness: Stung by the Dragon Flame Caterpillar ( ), and see why he’s the ultimate wildlife adventurer!

Plus, enjoy amazing experiences from local favorites like the Shreveport Aquarium, Walter B. Jacobs Nature Center, and many more. It’s a critter-filled day you won’t want to miss!
