About California Living Museum
California has some of the most stunning and beautiful animals and plants in the world! So what better way to celebrate, learn and admire them than at the California Living Museum?
The displays at the California Living Museum were created soley for visitors to experience and understand native Californian animals, plants, fossils and artifacts, so we can all ensure they are preserved in the future! We don't want you to be the last generation to enjoy them!
California Living Museum is located on 14 acres, and features over 80 fascinating species of animals! These animals were all previously injured and would not survive back in the wild, so they are now living their lives happily in the safety of the zoo!
The California Living Museum has a great open black bear exhibit, as well as a bird of prey exhibit featuring hawks, eagles and owls for those avid bird spotters. The mammal enclosures house bobcats and a number of fox species, AND there is a crawly reptile house too!
"Trees of California" takes you through brilliant flowers and streams - can you spot the butterflies and even the very fast hummingbirds? Can you guess how many times a minute they beat their wings? (Hint - it's a LOT!)
When you first arrive at the California Living Museum, make sure the kids explore the discover rooms with rotating interactive activities, as they will love the hands-on experience, as well as being able to check out the fossil and reading library!
The museum also provide educational tours for kids! There is SO much to see and do at the California Living Museum! Are you ready to enjoy all it has to offer?

California Living Museum FAQ’s
Do they have baby facilities?
Strollers are available to hire for $2.
I’m Hungry! Can I get food at California Living Museum?
You probably won’t want to eat what the animals are having (we hope!) so you can grab some chips, crackers, and candy on site, as well as grab some drinks from the two vending machines onsite. You can also bring your own food and enjoy it on one of the many picnic tables around!
Any top tips when visiting?
Unfortunately pets are not allowed on the zoo grounds with the exception of licensed service animals. They don't want to make the other animals nervous!
Does California Living Museum have a gift shop?
For all kinds of science and nature related items to take home, just visit their gift store! (Make sure you ask really nicely!)
Teachers corner
