This Education Center will provide the residents and visitors of St. Johns County with the unique opportunity to learn about vector-borne diseases, mosquitoes and other insect biology, and mosquito control in a fun hands-on environment. The education center will become a tool for teachers who are looking for engaging and highly educational field trips. School kids, residents, and vacationers of all ages will be able to enjoy this one-of-a-kind Education Center as a tourist destination.

Children can play at our insect-themed outdoor playground highlighting ways to reduce the mosquito population around your home.
