CuriOdyssey Storm Recovery
After 11 Weeks of Unplanned Closure, CuriOdyssey Reopened on June 3
Updated June 30, 2023
CuriOdyssey temporarily closed on March 14, 2023, 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 gave Coyote Point tenants the green light to reopen in June. CuriOdyssey reopened to the public on June 3, 2023. Read more in our 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.
Wildlife Wish List
Support our Wildlife Team and their expert care of CuriOdyssey's resident animals by purchasing keeper-selected items off their Amazon Wish List. This is a great option for kids, families, and for those that want to show their support with a small gift. The Wish List will be updated frequently; check back for newly added, special items for our keepers and animals!
