Please purchase your tickets and make reservations online prior to your visit, as we cannot guarantee entry into the museum without an advanced reservation or ticket. Join us for daily flamingo feedings in Wildlife Circle at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
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.
