Welcome to the Friends of the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo!
The Friends are very grateful to all of our donors and supporters for helping us raise more than $25 million to reimagine and rebuild the Junior Museum & Zoo. These donations, along with funding support from the City of Palo Alto, helped make possible a museum and zoo that will offer a truly unique experience to children and families for generations to come.
A Center of Science Excellence
The Friends of the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo (Friends) supports and enhances the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo (JMZ) – an early-education science institute that has been a valued part of Palo Alto since 1934. The JMZ’s mission is to engage a child’s curiosity in science and nature through hands-on activities and interactions with animals.
