Petaluma Wildlife and Natural Science Museum

The Petaluma Wildlife Museum houses over 9000 square feet of taxidermied animal, mineral, and fossil displays as well as live mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Students take courses in Wildlife and Museum Management to learn about environmental education, wildlife biology, animal husbandry, and public speaking. Throughout the year, student docents are responsible for animal care, maintenance, program development, and conducting tours. For over 20 years, the Museum has guided thousands of school classes and community groups on tours conducted by high school docents and developed around California State Science Standards.

The Museum is open to the general public on the first and third Saturday of the month from 11am to 3pm. Come get a tour from one of our docents or explore the Museum on your own.
