SATURDAY OPEN HOUSE
The Museum is open to the general public (most) Saturdays of the month during the academic school year (Late September-May) from 11am to 3pm. Full-facility docent-led tours fire on the hour with self-guided tours of our Africa, Natural Sciences, & North America exhibits open each subsequent half-hour. Please click on the "CALENDAR" tab (or click right HERE) to check for Open House dates.

Our fully-trained docents will have our Animal Ambassadors out to greet you and your family throughout your visit; we LOVE to share cool conservation stories about our animals and exhibits and our docents will speak your ears off with awesome animal facts if you let them. If you and your family are looking for an in-person experience with an exotic animal or want to be fully immersed and engrossed in some amazing wildlife displays, our museum is right up your alley!

​General admission to the Museum is $5.00 per entrant: children 4 years and younger are free. We accept cash, credit card, and check.

We are located on the campus of Petaluma High School at the back of the student parking lot (next to the visitor entrance of Ellison Field).

​Our address is:

201 Fair Street
Petaluma, CA, 94952


Parking is FREE and complimentary handicap parking can be found on our premises, just feet from the entrance.
