Two-story interactive exhibit building with greenhouse, supersized hives, and caves that highlight invertebrates.

The 10,000 square foot McKinney Family Spineless Marvels exhibit building showcases invertebrates species at the new San Diego Zoo Wildlife Explorers Basecamp, including crustaceans, arachnids, and insects—such as leafcutter ants, spiders, beetles, scorpions, and stick insects. At the lower level, visitors enter a subterranean world coming face to face with naked mole rats, ant chambers, and burrowing coconut crabs. The immersive environments explore pollination, migration, camouflage, tropical forest and subterranean life.
