    After saying �hello' to Mayor Mantis, grab a Passport and take a
    tour of �Bug City!�



    Meet the citizens of Cleveland Metroparks �Bug City� event on
    Saturday, August 11 from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Garfield Park

    insects!  Learn what insects do, why they're important and
    even what they taste like!



    Children can get a passport to be stamped throughout Bug City's
    districts after completing a variety of activities.  After the
    children receive at least five stamps, they can redeem their
    passport for a specially-designed Bug City prize.



    With all the walking around through the seven districts, a good
    place to stop and enjoy a �snack' at Bug City is the Culinary
    Bugstitute with Chef Gene White.  Enjoy bug cooking
    demonstrations, bug recipes and tasty samples. 



    After eating a few mealworms and crickets, head over to the Bug
    House to view a wide variety of bug exhibits from Ohio to
    Africa.  Stop by the Garden District and get garden tips on
    which plants will attract certain bugs with the Master Gardeners,
    see live and mounted butterflies, and bees and honey
    tasting. 



    And, visit the Art District to see the new Albert's Flea Circus,
    take a buggy voyage with Capt'n Willie and enjoy �buggy' music with
    Gary Lee.



    Walk down Predator Alley to see live animals from Lake Erie
    Nature & Science Center and test your Bug IQ.  Experience
    Bug SafariLand and enjoy the great bug hunt, the ant trail, and a
    must-do activity for kids - the Mealworm 500, where kids can watch
    the mealworms race to the finish line!



    Families can also take rides on the Bug Express train
    ($2/person).

    of the I-480/Broadway Avenue exit.
