Membership

Your membership will support a community gem, which has served children for the last 70 years and continues to keep high-quality, interactive learning for children in our community. Each year, approximately 100,000 children visit the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo. Children love the Junior Museum and Zoo for its comfortable, fun and kid-sized exhibits. Parents appreciate our educational exhibits especially hands-on science activities for kids.

In addition to visiting their favorite animals at the zoo like bugs and bats, geese and turtles, ferrets and hedgehogs and our bobcats, the children are currently exploring green living and renewable energy with our new exhibit, "Clean Green Energy Machines!".

These learning opportunities exist for the children in our community because of your help and support. To learn about becoming a member and view our membership levels and benefits, please click here.

An anonymous donor has agreed to match all new gifts received before April 1st to the Bobcat Habitat Renovation Project. That means right now, your donation will go even further. Please consider a gift of ANY AMOUNT.
