Children are fascinated by animals, from small creepy crawlies up to big lions.  Indulge their curiosity at the Lindsay Wildlife museum where you and your family can get up close with various local wildlife neighbors such as owls, eagles and a mountain lion.  There are a variety of learning exhibits and so many things to look at and touch.  Afterwards, when you are inspired, take a trip to East Bay Nature in Walnut Creek to get all your birding supplies and start bringing the birds to your backyard.

$25 gift card for East Bay Nature and four admission passes for the Lindsay Wildlife Museum.
