Admission ticket Hortus botanicus Leiden

This autumn, discover 12 Gigabeestjes at Hortus botanicus Leiden! Admire a giant caterpillar, snail or cockroach and spot moving legs and bobbing abdomens. Some of the creatures are as large as 2.5 metres! Ask for the information booklet at the entrance and explore the garden together. Along the way, you will learn why insects, spiders and snails are indispensable to nature. They pollinate flowers, clear away waste and spread plant seeds. From praying mantis to dung beetle: every creature has an important role. A surprising and educational day out for the whole family, after which you will see small creatures in a completely different light. Come and meet them for yourself!
