Turtle Bay Exploration Park combines museum exhibits, wildlife experiences and outdoor learning beside the Sacramento River in Redding.

The broader complex also includes gardens and the Sundial Bridge, bringing natural history, local stories and landscape together.
Use the park’s current visitor information to distinguish ticketed museum and wildlife areas from surrounding public spaces. Exhibitions, animal programs and seasonal activities change, so select the experiences that interest you before arriving. Allow time to move between indoor and outdoor areas, and dress for Redding’s weather if you intend to explore more than the museum.
