PLAN YOUR VISIT

The health and safety of all is our priority. We continue to have various measures in place to ensure that we have a safe and healthy environment for our visitors and staff. These measures include vaccination of eligible animals and frequent cleaning of high-touch areas, limited capacity and sanitization stations. We are following county guidelines to ensure visitors, animals and staff are as safe as possible.

Yes. Hand sanitizing stations are located throughout CuriOdyssey including: the entrance, exit, CuriOdyssey Shop, restrooms and animal exhibit hallway.

As of June 15, 2019, dogs will be allowed on leash in designated and posted trails and areas in the greater Coyote Point Recreation Area as part of the San Mateo County Parks' dog pilot program.

To protect the animals at CuriOdyssey and your pet, dogs are prohibited in CuriOdyssey and in the areas where signs are posted at trails and by symbols on trails that indicate no dogs allowed, except service animals. Service animals are welcome in most locations throughout the museum. All service animals must remain on a leash or in a harness at all times. A member of the guest’s party must remain with the animal at all times for the safety of all concerned.
