2013

RECORD-BREAKING ATTENDANCENearly 138,000 people visited CuriOdyssey between October 1, 2012 and September 30, 2013. This represents a 2% increase over the previous fiscal year and an 85% increase in attendance over its lowest point in 2008. The continued increase in attendance can be attributed largely in part to the organization’s added focus on highly interactive science discovery experiences for children and our continued focus on animal conservation and care. Visitors have actively embraced CuriOdyssey’s newest science exhibition, FORCES, its highly popular programs, camps, and wildlife encounters.

NEW ANIMALSThis year, CuriOdyssey welcomed new additions to our animal family. In 2013, we added a greater roadrunner to the other feathered friends in our walk-through aviary. We also added a new turtle to our pond. The Animal Ambassador program welcomed two new members, including a scorpion and two ferrets. The animals in the Animal Ambassadors program play a key role in realizing our mission and helping educate school children, groups, and visitors in the importance of conservation and animal care. Animal keepers have been working with each of the animals to train them for use in programming for schools, groups, and visitors.

RECOGNITIONIn 2013, CuriOdyssey was recognized with multiple awards. Rachel Meyer, executive director of CuriOdyssey, received the Distinguished Informal Science Education Award from the National Science Teachers Association. For the third year in a row, Charity Navigator, America’s largest and most-utilized independent evaluator of charities, awarded CuriOdyssey the esteemed 4-star rating for good governance, sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency. For the fifth year, CuriOdyssey was recognized by Bay Area Parent Magazine as a Family Favorite museum.

EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP CuriOdyssey continued our leadership in the science education field.We continued our partnership with Fiesta Gardens International School to provide science outreach for children in the underserved community. Through the program, CuriOdyssey provides informal, inquiry-based science education to each of the kindergarten through second grade classrooms, multiple times a year. We also began a partnership with the Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bay Area to provide free admission for program participants.

CONSERVATION This year marked the beginning of two new partnerships with local wildlife conservation organizations. We formed important collaborations with the River Otter Ecology Project and the Bay Area Bobcat Project in order to study and conserve local wild populations.

NEW EXHIBITION

The Year in ReviewIn 2013, CuriOdyssey continued to build on the record-breaking numbers of the previous year. We continued our positive trajectory and saw the highest attendance in our history, exceeding the previous year’s numbers by 2%. We also enjoyed a 2% increase in admissions revenue, 20% increase in membership revenue, 40% increase in event rentals, 16% increase in store net revenue, and summer camps were an unprecedented 100% full. We also updated our mission statement to reflect our added focus on scientific discovery for children.

As a science and wildlife center, CuriOdyssey helps children acquire the tools to deeply understand the changing world.

In June, CuriOdyssey opened its newest science exhibition, FORCES. The one-of-a-kind exhibition was designed in-house and encourages children to experiment and investigate some of the fundamental forces in nature. Children explore magnetism, sound, and energy though a variety of exhibits that invite hands-on investigation and experience with natural phenomena.

Letter From The Director Looking back on 2013 Thank You for an Important Year!

Dear Friends,

The year, 2013 was an incredible year of growth for our museum. As you know, we are dedicated to launching a new era for our beloved wildlife and science center at Coyote Point.

When I read comments like these from our visitors:

“This place is wonderful! The combination of science and animals is amazing.”

“So impressive was my visit that I plan on being a member here for a very long time.”

Or this from teachers:

“My students all say they want to be scientists when they grow up… After every lesson they say that it was the best day of their lives.”

I know we are on the right track.

At CuriOdyssey, we believe we must focus on educating children in their first decade of life. As our young visitors learn about natural phenomena from interaction with our exhibits and observe animal behaviors in our beautiful habitats, we give kids a foundation of knowledge they can use throughout their lives while they joyfully “play.” We believe as they experience the thrill of discovery, that “Aha!” moment, they will become ardent caretakers of this ever-changing planet.

Enjoy this year’s highlights. And a loud shout-out to all the contributors we list here. Thank you so much for giving kids the opportunity to learn, understand and care for the planet. We absolutely would not be here without you.

Rachel Meyer Executive Director

“Megan and I had so much fun exploring at CuriOdyssey. She managed to get her hands on all the different exhibits and enjoyed seeing the animals. I think her favorite exhibit was the vortex creator. She has a blood blister from [experimenting with] it so much! We were able to see the feeding of the otters. Both of us had a wonderful time and are thankful for the tickets!”
