The Junior Museum & Zoo is a place where children and their caregivers come to explore, discover, create and play.  Through hands-on science exhibits and a diverse community of live animals, we seek to engage a child's curiosity for science and nature.   

The Zoo is home to more than 50 species of animals--about 200 specimens in all--many of which are brought into classrooms as part of the Junior Museum & Zoo's science outreach program with local schools. Some of the animals include bobcats, raccoons, jungle bats, hedgehogs, ferrets, snakes, fresh and salt water fish and invertebrates, a red tail hawk and other birds.

We offer a menagerie of science programs for schools and community groups, as well as classes, summer camps and birthday parties for families.
