Welcome to the World of the Tarantula

Tarantulas have a reputation for being big, hairy, scary, dangerous spiders. While their appearance can be quite intimidating, in actual fact any tarantula would much rather avoid us than attack us. And their venom is no worse than the sting of a bee, despite the rumors you may have heard. Explore these pages, surf the web, and come visit our traveling exhibit on one of its frequent stops to learn more about these fascinating creatures.
