Wildlife Rehabilitation Hospital

The wildlife hospital is open every day to accept injured or orphaned native wild animals. The wildlife hospital entrance is located on the west side of the museum. Because wildlife does not have health insurance, we pay 100% of their medical cost. Your donations will help save the lives of thousands of patients.

Hospital hours

  • September though March: 9 am – 5 pm
  • April through August: 9 am – 8 pm

For museum hours go here.

Hospital update–week of May 19

The hospital received 255 animals last week, bringing the total to 2089 for this year.

Forty-eight of the patients came in because they had been caught by cats. Please help us keep wildlife safe in the wild by keeping cats indoors. Your cat will be safer and healthier, and so will the wildlife.
