About CuriOdyssey
We love visiting zoos, and we love exploring science centers where they make science fun, but we've never been to a place that combines the two!
Welcome to CuriOdyssey!
This amazing attraction in California is a family-friendly hands-on science museum AND zoo, where kids can get up close to the natural world through interactive science exhibits. Then they can get close to the animals themselves in the zoo!
First - the animals! CuriOdyssey has nearly 100 animals, from those slippery snakes to those majestic and bold golden eagles. All of the creatures at the zoo are non-releasable into the wild, because they have either been previously injured or abandoned, and wouldn't survive back in the wild.
So CuriOdyssey is their forever homes!
The animals live in naturalistic habitats, which the whole family can explore, so they will feel like they are in their natural homes! Bird lovers will love the 4,000 square foot aviary, and then take your time through the remaining 25 habitats which are all designed for the animals who live there.
Then the science part! CuriOdyssey has a team just for creating the innovating and hands-on exhibits that the kids can enjoy! You won't find them anywhere else! You can make objects fly, spin gears, or even create a vortex!
It's all designed to teach kids how nature's complex systems work together to form the environment that we know and love today.
With workshops, programs, and camps to top off the experience, you will have a WILD time at this Californian family attraction!
