Heads up! We are pleased to announce that we are preparing to launch, in early October, a new ticketing system that promises to significantly improve the customer experience. As such, during the month of September we will not be selling any memberships. Watch for more information in the coming weeks.
The Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo has an 80-year+ legacy of inspiring a passion for science, appreciation for nature, and love of exploration for children of all ages. With your support, we can continue and expand our mission of engaging a child's curiosity in science and nature by providing early childhood experiences and science education to the community.
