Mission

Lindsay Wildlife Museum is a unique natural history and environmental education center where live, wild animals are just inches away. Lindsay Wildlife has over 50 animal ambassadors, each a unique representative of California’s wildlife. These remarkable creatures can inspire young minds, offering an up-close look at nature while teaching the importance of protecting their wild counterparts and helping us share vital conservation messages through our educational programming. Founded in 1955, the museum's programs connect people with wildlife to inspire responsibility and respect for the world we share. The exhibit hall features interactive spaces that allow you to learn through play and rotating natural history specimens. Soar like a raptor over Mount Diablo, learn about animal tracks, touch Grizzly bear fur, and search for the Queen Bee in our living bee hive! The on-site wildlife rehabilitation center is one of the oldest and largest wildlife hospitals in the United States, treating nearly 6,000 injured or orphaned wild animals each year.
