Honeybee Centre: Surrey

Overview:
Honeybee Centre is home to the Bees & Bugs Lab which offers an interactive exhibit full of live invertebrates & bees, hands-on activities, honey tasting and more!  Self-guided tours are perfect for families, or book a guided tour for your school field trip or group.

Thoughts:
Kind of a cool idea with the bug lab and bee hive tour to do with the kids but if you don't get there for the tour you can still self guide yourself through. This is both good and bad. You pay full price and if you don't know that much about what you are looking at it can be overwhelming.  Some of the bugs were impossible to find and the free samples you got as part of the tour are available to anyone who walks in the store.
The tea house is nice though with a relaxing atmosphere bit it seems a bit far from anywhere to go for tea.

Pros:
Got to see some different bugs and learn a bit about bees. The free samples give you an idea of how different honeys taste.

Cons:
A bit much for a self guided tour with not too much to look at on your own and not knowing what's there.

Price:
$5 per person
3 and under Free
