WHAT: The 2005 Towering Termite Tour, the world's largest traveling
interactive termite exhibit housed in a two-story high
inflatable termite, is swarming into Raleigh just in time to
teach curious kids and parents about the good, the bad, and
the just plain strange sides of these destructive bugs.
Designed to educate and entertain, the belly of this bug
(which is 69,000 times the size of a real termite) houses
terrariums of real termite colonies, unusual materials
attacked by termites like piano keys and magazines, fun
learning games, strange but true termite facts (for every
human on Earth, entomologists calculate there may be as many
as 1,000 pounds of termites!) and valuable take home
information for parents. Admission to the event is included in
the entrance fee to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Visitors
to Pullen Park can enjoy the Tour free of charge.
