Take Ant Observation to new heights with Ant Mountain!

Learn all about ants and how they live with our, escape-proof ant-tunneling kit. Our Ant Mountain has a fascinating inside/outside design which allows kids to watch their busy ants work cooperatively to tunnel, explore and forage throughout their rugged environment. Now anyone can become a myrmecologist (a person who studies ants) with Ant Mountain!
