About
Randall Museum Classes and Family Workshops include Saturday Science drop-in science workshops for families, Afternoon Art drop-in art workshops for families, Meet an Animal Ambassador sessions, Birding the Hill, and guided, educational Hikes on the Hill. Saturday Science Drop-in Workshops present simple science topics through project-based activities, and most classes produce a project to take home. Afternoon Art Drop-in Art Workshops have art instructors guiding different hands-on art activities each week, and Meet an Animal Ambassador involves open discussion about rescue animal ambassadors from the Wild in California wildlife exhibit, with opportunities to see animals such as a tarantula, a snake, or a bird of prey.
