BugWorld eyes
European sites
The company that manages the BugWorld Experience in Liverpool, England, is
looking for new sites elsewhere in Europe.
“BugWorld is a perfect project to roll out into sites with high footfall,” says Keith
Thomas, director of the Petersham Group, which operates the attraction on behalf
of Rogers Group Investments.
“BugWorld is a high-profile leisure
attraction that will attract families all
year round. It is both cost-effective
to build and requires little more
than 1,500 square metres of space
and visible shopfront.”
BugWorld opened in July at
Liverpool’s Albert Dock and features
six insect habitats, interactive
exhibits, a “creepy crawlie”
handling section and edible bugs.
