Our brand new Caterpillar Café is now open!

AND…There is no longer a need to drool over the strangely real food in the Museum's Grasshopper Grocery and Butterfly Bistro!

You can now enjoy Bob’s Builder Sandwich, and other fresh food and snacks, at the new Caterpillar Café. Answering the call for fresh food options we are partnering with the owners of Coffee's On to bring salads, sandwiches, baked items, tea, coffee and more to your Museum experience. The café uses local products such as Sunshine Dairy milk and yogurt, Longbottom Coffee & Tea, Pizza Schmizza, Cookie Monkey, and Marsee Bakery.
