We love the fact that they change their exhibits often. We love that there is an indoor and outsoor area. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded, but there is always the park right behind it. more

Really neat little place. Cute zoo and interesting activities play areas inside. A little small and stuffy on the inside - but that may depend on weather. more

This is a great place to take young ones (ages 1-4) for an hour or two. They can do the fun activities inside then go outside to the little zoo. They only ask for a $2 suggested donation. more

Conveniently located next door to Rinconada Park. This place is fantastic for toddlers, about age 1.5 years and up. The little zoo is especially exciting with a wide variety of animals and birds to see, including bat and fish habitats. Only a donation is asked for. How DO they do it? A must-see! more

  • The Junior Museum & Zoo is home to more than 50 species of animals that includes approx. 200 specimens, many taken to classrooms and used in the science outreach program. Some of the animals include bobcats, raccoons, jungle bats, hedgehogs, ferrets, snakes, fresh water fish and invertebrates, birds, turtles and a giant tortoise. The Zoo In 1969, the Museum added a zoo that features more than 50 animals, including bobcats, bats, snakes, hedgehogs, ducks, ferrets, and raccoons. The Zoo's small but diverse collection of wildlife helps children develop a deeper understanding of the natural world and the relationships between people and animals. Children love the Rainbow Bridge which crosses the duck pond.
