| Coyote Point Museum in San Mateo |
|
The Coyote Point Museum depicts the natural history of California through engaging and educational experiences, and strives to demonstrate the importance of conservation. Guests can enjoy wildlife habitat gardens, a butterfly garden, displays of plants and animals in their natural setting and programmes that relate to the global environment.
Coyote Point Museum brings children and families up close with the natural world. Our mission is to educate and inspire people to take care of the earth wisely. We offer the tools to question and explore our world: interactive science exhibits, hands-on and explorative school and public programs, and up close encounters with native California animals.
Science-based exhibits: interactive science exhibits that help children explore how nature’s many complex systems work together to create our environment.
Wildlife exhibits: live animal habitat exhibits that allow visitors an up close view of native non-releasable animals. Coyote Point Museum is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). Fewer than 10% of zoos and aquariums nationwide are accredited by AZA.
Wildlife programs: exciting programs designed to give visitors an opportunity to meet and learn about our primarily native California animals in up close and personal interactions.
School-based education programs: hands-on, engaging on- and off-site environmental science education programs designed to support school and group educators in science education.
Public education programs: hands-on, explorative programs for the general public that give children and families the opportunity to investigate, discover, and interact with the natural world through workshops, tours, presentations, and camps.
