The Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo is a kid's place to think, create and play.
All Junior Museum and Zoo exhibits allow children to become physically involved and immerse themselves in the essence of life-to poke, to prod, to pull, to pick up, to smell.
The Zoo is home to more than 50 exotic and native animals, of which at least half are brought into classrooms as part of the Junior Museum and Zoo's science outreach program with local schools. Some of the animals include bobcats, raccoons, jungle bats, hedgehogs, ferrets, snakes, and an owl.
The museum will be closed from Monday, June 16th 2008 – Friday, June 27th 2008 for installation of phase 1 of our newest exhibit, "Clean Green Energy Machines!" The zoo will remain open during this time except for Friday, June 27th. The museum will re-open to the public on Saturday, June 28th.
