Please purchase your tickets and make reservations online prior to your visit, as we cannot guarantee entry into the museum without an advanced reservation or ticket. Join us for daily flamingo feedings in Wildlife Circle at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Our cichlids are species from Lake Malawi. This lake is between Malawi, Tanzania and Mozambique in Africa and is 350 miles long. This lake was originally small with no fish. Between 46,000 and 2000 years ago, 6 floods from nearby rivers brought fish into the lake. Over time, the fish changed, specializing in how they feed and breed.
You can meet these gorgeous fish on your next visit to the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo! Plan your visit
