This is a "zoo" where all of the animals are native to California and none of them can live on their own (some were born in captivity elsewhere and don't have their wild instincts, others were hurt in the wild and rescued). The docents are knowledgeable. There are exhibits that change every few months. They have free admission on the first Wednesday of the month and it can get crowded. It's also crowded on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month when they have "Toddler Tuesdays" when they have crafts and activities for a nominal fee above the admission price. Their yearly membership is reasonable and includes reciprocable admission to many other zoos and science museums across the country. They also offer nice birthday parties.
