About CuriOdyssey
Science & wildlife center for kids. Museum for kids focusing on environmental science & wildlife with indoor exhibits & an outdoor zoo.
💬 What Parents Say
- Bring your own snacks and water bottle - CuriOdyssey doesn't sell food or drinks inside, but you can refill water bottles at the CuriOdyssey Shop. Plan a picnic at Coyote Point afterward to make the most of the beautiful waterfront setting.
- Visit during daylight hours (aim for mid-afternoon before 4:30 PM last entry) to fully enjoy both the outdoor exhibits and animal viewing. Evening visits during winter or rainy days make it harder to see animals and access the playground.
- Remember the total cost includes both museum admission (~$29) and the $6 Coyote Point parking fee. Check for discount tickets at the door between 10 AM-4 PM (not available in advance) and ask about reciprocal memberships with other science museums to reduce costs.
- CuriOdyssey is excellent for toddlers and young children - the interactive science exhibits, otter exhibit, and playground are major draws. The venue's small size makes it manageable for families with little ones who may have shorter attention spans.
- Call ahead to confirm current amenities and special hours, as some facilities remain modified. Check the Upcoming Special Hours section for holidays and special events like IlluminOdyssey evening experiences.
