Museum

Turtle Bay Museum is the heart of the Turtle Bay experience. It contains permanent, interactive exhibits and two large special exhibition galleries. The experiences here — underwater fish viewing, walking through historic recreations, experimenting with scientific equipment, viewing the art — are also springboards for the authentic outdoor experiences on the rest of the campus. The exhibits feature a mix of richly layered interpretative material, multimedia exhibits, science experiments, self-guided exploration, and play features.

McConnell Arboretum & Botanical Gardens

Opened on May 30, 2005, the McConnell Arboretum & Botanical Gardens is the newest addition to Turtle Bay Exploration Park. The new Gardens comprise 20 acres of mediterranean climate display gardens, a children’s garden, a medicinal garden, and two beautiful and unique water features.

Animals

The animal programs at Turtle Bay inspire, create connections, and foster appreciation for the diversity and magnificence of wildlife through conservation, education and entertainment.

Sundial Bridge

The Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay crosses the Sacramento River in the heart of Redding, California. Opened July 4, 2004, the bridge links the north and south campuses of Turtle Bay Exploration Park and serves as a new downtown entrance for Redding’s extensive Sacramento River Trail system.

Paul Bunyan's Forest Camp

A fun-filled replica of a forest camp with woodsy play equipment and a working model of the Sacramento River, plus timber and ecology exhibits and a trail that takes you “across” Northern California’s forests.
