Environmental Hall

Take an imaginary walk from the mountains to the shore, exploring the six ecosystems found in the San Francisco Bay Area: Redwood Forest, Oak Forest, Grasslands, Chaparral, Baylands and Coast. Museum educators have put together a fun scavenger hunt to aid in your discovery.

View up-close over 50 non-releasable animals native to California, including a bobcat, river otters, rattlesnake and golden eagles. Regularly scheduled feedings for the Channel Island Fox (11:30am) and the River Otters (12:30pm) take place Tuesday through Sunday.

Gardens

Explore themed gardens which encompass 1.3 acres including a Hummingbird Garden, Butterfly Habitat and Nature's Marketplace Garden, featuring native plants used by Native Californians.

Aviary

Experience a serene walk-through park with a waterfall and pond where several indigenous shorebirds and songbirds make their home.
