I visited the Youth Science Institute at Alum Rock Park from the outside during a recent walk. The location is peaceful, well-integrated with nature, and appears very well maintained. Although I didn't enter the center, the surroundings gave a very positive impression. It looks like a great place for kids and families to learn and explore. Also, I noticed that clean restroom facilities are available nearby, which is a big plus for park visitors. Definitely worth coming back for a full visit!

Great educational center right near a parking lot. Both taxidermy and live animals inside.

Excellent collection of animal specimens and live animals. Since we went when they opened, we watched the animals being fed. And were honored to see a tortoise feeding/walking, after 8 months of hibernation. Apparently, the tortoise hibernates 8 months in a year. Saw Gecko, snakes, toad, chinchilla, newt, owl, etc.

My friend and I loved looking at the collection of birds and seeing their details so up close. Parking was very easy.
