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, an owl, 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.
