Grand opening of Disease Vector Education Center and Science Museum in St Augustine

Via JaxToday : The museum, at 120 EOC Drive, houses exhibits on mosquitoes and other pesky insects — and the diseases they carry — in ways that might be interesting for young kids and adults alike. There’s a flight simulator complete with video filmed from one of the agency’s mosquito control helicopters. Interactive games teach kids about diseases. And larger-than-life bugs and hundreds of their real counterparts are pinned up on the walls and ceilings, courtesy of the University of Florida and Florida Department of Agriculture. The opening comes after five years of work on the center, which cost around $4.5 million. While the district hoped to open it as early as 2022, COVID-related delays repeatedly held things up.
