CuriOdyssey
Mammal Habitats
CuriOdyssey is a dynamic science museum and zoo featuring a blend of interactive science exhibits and a variety of animals. It is home to nearly 100 rescued animals, primarily native to California, that are unable to return to the wild. The museum boasts engaging exhibits, including a science playground where children can explore and interact with scientific principles through hands-on play.
Foxes and Bobcats and Otters Oh My!
CuriOdyssey is a childrens museum focused on hands on science learning. Perry Becker worked with the team to create designs for a North American River Otter, Gray Fox, and Bobcat habitats that integrated updated AZA requirements, inclusive hands on learning and forward thinking sustainability initiatives all with the focus of encouraging familes toward conservation action in their own backyards and surrounding communities
Let off some STEAM at CuriOdyssey
At CuriOdyssey, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) is seamlessly integrated into every exhibit. It forms the core design principles and is embedded in the creation of all the exhibits.
Visitors experience STEAM education firsthand as they interact with our exhibits, exploring, manipulating variables, and observing the results through our exclusive and innovative science phenomena displays.

PROJECT STORY
Otter Water
One of the exciting features of the new North American River Otter exhibit offers guests a fun, educational experience by demonstrating how water filtration systems work. In this interactive display, visitors can observe a toy otter “pooping” in a container of water. Through the use of gears, levers, and wheels, guests can engage in the process of cleaning the water. By simulating a filtration system, the exhibit illustrates how contaminants are removed to maintain water quality for aquatic species. Although the fresh drinking water provided at the end is not directly connected to the initial “dirty” water, the experience effectively teaches guests how Life Support Systems operate in real-world environments to ensure clean water for animals.
