Have young children, living in the Peninsula and not wanting to travel far to pet animals...Look no further. The Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo is a great place to visit for a couple of hours. Sometimes they have a person to bring out an animal and talk about it in a circle. Another great (and short) trip -- and it's FREE. Also, they will rent out this place for events (birthday parties, etc).
