Sure, the Amazing Spider-Man does whatever a spider can -- but can you? Find out at the Harvard Museum of Natural History! Embark on the "Spider-Sense! Scavenger Hunt" and immerse yourself in the amazing world of spiders and spider-like creatures. You can get your map and guide at the Museum's front desk, then scurry on your way to discover the incredible diversity of spiders. Find out about spiders' relatives -- even fossilized ancestors -- and uncover some of their best-kept secrets. Explore forests, fields and underwater on your journey (and you'll even see a live Tarantula). The ability to climb walls is not required. Daily, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. (closed on major holidays). Ages 3-18, $6; adults, $9; 65+, $7; members free. Harvard Museum of Natural History, 26 Oxford Street, Cambridge. www.hmnh.harvard.edu
