We discovered California Living Museum from a map advertisement at Orange Grove RV Resort, and we’re so glad we did! The aquarium was a highlight, especially the touch tank and the wonderful educator who taught how to interact with the sea creatures and shared lots of fun facts. We loved stretching our wings at the California condor exhibit, seeing the reptiles, and the farm area with its friendly goats. At the gift shop we crushed a penny, which quickly became a road trip tradition! We picked out a few souvenirs (a kit fox, bat, and fire snake plushie) that have been treasured ever since. Thank you for the memorable morning CALM Zoo.

This place is amazing. It is in need of some minor repairs and probably some major ones but this place rocks. I will come back again and again.
