CuriOdyssey Storm Recovery

CuriOdyssey to Reopen on June 3

Updated May 30, 2023

CuriOdyssey has been closed since March 14, when the first of two major storms battered Coyote Point Recreation Area, the San Mateo County park that includes the CuriOdyssey campus. Throughout the park, over 100 fallen trees blocked access to the park’s roads, parking lots and pedestrian paths, and damaged pavement, causing safety concerns for the public. With most of the debris now cleared from pedestrian and vehicle pathways, County officials have given Coyote Point tenants the green light to reopen in June. Member preview days will be offered on Thursday and Friday, June 1 and 2. Read more in our latest blog post.

Get Involved

Please consider donating to our storm recovery and investing in the wellbeing of our animals, staff, and campus. While CuriOdyssey remained closed to the public, we were unable to earn the revenue that covers our operating expenses as a 501c(3) nonprofit. Your donations will help defray our costs for animal care and facility repairs during this difficult and unavoidable closure.

All donations to CuriOdyssey are fully tax deductible.
